Meson doublets with one isospin-singlet quark

ID: meson-doublets-with-one-isospin-singlet-quark

An isospin-zero quark paired with or gives a meson isospin doublet of charges . Spin addition at zero orbital angular momentum gives both pseudoscalar mesons and vector mesons. Pairing the new antiquark with gives the charge-conjugate doublets. For strange or charm flavour these are the kaon or D-meson families and their vector partners.
