  1. A muon (μ−\mu^-μ−) is a lepton that decays via the weak interaction into an electron, an electron antineutrino, and a muon neutrino.
  2. A strange quark (sss) has a baryon number of +13\displaystyle +\frac{1}{3}+31​ and a strangeness of +1.
  3. The strong interaction between quarks is mediated by gluons, whereas the exchange particles for the strong force between nucleons in a nucleus are pions.
