Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula relates the baryon number B, the strangeness S, the isospin Iz of hadrons to the charge Q. It is given as:
Originally, this equation was based on empirical experiments. It is now understood as a result of the Quark model. In particular, the electric charge Q of a particle is related to its isospin Iz and its hypercharge Y via the relation:
