Etymology
From Middle English straungenesse; equivalent to strange + -ness.
Meanings
- (uncountable, usually) The state or quality of being strange, odd or weird.
- (countable, usually) The product or result of being strange.
-
(particle, uncountable, usually) One of the quantum numbers of subatomic particles, depending upon the relative number of strange quarks and anti-strange quarks.
Mesons which combine the charmed quark with the up or down antiquarks are denoted the D mesons. These mesons carry explicit charm (i.e. have a non-zero charm quantum number), just as the K mesons carry strangeness.
