Example
Protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are examples of hadrons.
Hadrons are subject to the strong nuclear force, the fundamental interaction that binds quarks together.
Hadrons play a crucial role in forming atomic nuclei, where protons and neutrons are bound by the residual strong force.
The study of hadrons is essential for understanding the behavior of quarks within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
Quarks like the charm quark play a crucial role in the formation of hadrons, such as the J/psi particle, which consists of a charm quark and an anti-charm quark bound together.
