Sigma baryons

Sigma baryons are a type of subatomic particle made up of three quarks, specifically including at least one strange quark, giving them a "strange" flavor. They are part of the baryon family, which includes particles like protons and neutrons, but Sigma baryons are heavier and less stable. These particles are important in the study of quantum chromodynamics—the theory describing the strong force that binds quarks together—helping scientists understand the fundamental forces and building blocks of matter at a subatomic level.
