List of Charge Conjugation and Parity numbers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a comprehensive list of Charge Conjugation (C) and Parity (P) numbers for various particles, specifically the neutral eta meson, neutral pi meson, and neutral rho meson. The photon is noted to have a charge conjugation number of -1 and a parity of -1. Participants recommend resources such as Wikipedia for mesons and baryons, as well as the Particle Data Group (PDG) for detailed particle properties, including the JPC convention for spin, parity, and charge parity values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics terminology, including Charge Conjugation and Parity.
  • Familiarity with mesons and baryons, particularly their properties.
  • Knowledge of the JPC notation for describing particle states.
  • Basic research skills to navigate scientific databases and resources.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Charge Conjugation and Parity numbers for the neutral eta meson, neutral pi meson, and neutral rho meson.
  • Explore the Particle Data Group (PDG) for comprehensive particle property data.
  • Learn about the JPC convention and its significance in particle physics.
  • Investigate additional resources for particle properties, such as academic journals and databases.
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, students studying quantum mechanics, and researchers seeking detailed information on particle properties and their classifications.

Hi everyone,

i am just wondering why I cannot find a list of Charge Conjugation and Parity numbers for all the appropriate particles?

I mean, I can look online and sift through sources for individual particles (for example, after some research I have found the the photon has a charge conjugation number of -1, and it's parity is -1), however this is very tiring.

Is there anybody out there who has a good list of these things?

Thanks for your help!

(I especially would like to find this information for the neutral eta meson, the neutral pi meson, and the neutral rho meson)

Thank you so much. That is so helpful. I did not understand this convention and had no idea it had to do with these quantities.

Cheers!
