A baryon is a particle that consists of three quarks (or antiquarks, in which case they form an antibaryon). Baryons form a subset of hadrons.
The following is a (growing) list of baryons. If you spot an error, feel free to /msg me. If you want to add some, /msg me too, rather than creating a new writeup.
Notes:
- All rest masses are in MeV/c2.
- All of these particles have baryon number B=+1 and spin number S=+3/2.
- "Makeup" refers to the constituent quarks (u=up, d=down, s=strange, c=charm).
- An underlined symbol denotes an antiparticle, which is normally written with a bar over the symbol.
