Hi guys,
Merry Christmas to you all!
I wanted to know whether a neutral pion can be made up of a strange quark and an anti-strange quark. I know that the kaon is the only strange meson and all variations contain an s quark but wouldn't the strangeness be zero in an s quark/anti-s quark pair as their strangenesses cancel out?
My textbook includes the s quark/anti-s quark composition for the neutral pion but my revision guide only mentions the u/anti-u and the d/anti-d combinations.
I would appreciate if someone cleared things up for me!
Thanks in advance!
