B Meson particles emitted from neutrons and protons

[Bikash Kumar Das]

Neutron and proton are themselves not composed of mesons, then how do they emit these particles inside the nucleus?

The residual strong interaction can be modeled as exchange of virtual mesons. They are not real.

Apart from that: Protons, neutrons and mesons are all made out of quarks, and quarks can also be produced in quark/antiquark pairs.

this is a very dangerous way to approach the effect... electrons or protons are not composed of photons, but they do interact via them in an atom...

How electrons & protons interact via photon can you please explain

by QED... I can't write a book.

 

[Bikash Kumar Das]

Okay

A simple view:
Electromagnetic wave is something you can define as measured at every time and place. Strength and direction of electric and magnetic field.
Yet it is also described as a flux of particles - "real photons".
A proton and an electron are accompanied by electrostatic field. You can measure the electrostatic field (and magnetostatic field) at any place around the proton.
Yet proton´s electrostatic field is not carrying away energy the way electromagnetic waves do.
The notion of "virtual particles" is describing electrostatic and magnetostatic fields as consisting of "particles" the way electromagnetic waves do.
