A level Physics Mesons (not on data sheet) and Exchange particles

Quark combinations for mesons that are not on data sheet and need to be remembered and also the exchange particles that meed to be remembered for A level and their ranges and what they apply on. - For some reason the symbol for pie came out funny and looks like a lowercase n
