= Intrinsic parity
{wiki=Intrinsic_parity}
Intrinsic parity is a concept in particle physics that refers to a property of particles that characterizes their behavior under spatial inversion (or parity transformation). Parity transformation involves flipping the spatial coordinates, essentially transforming a point in space \\((x, y, z)\\) to \\((-x, -y, -z)\\). In terms of intrinsic parity, particles can be classified as having either positive or negative parity. This classification helps in understanding the symmetries and conservation laws of physical processes involving particles.
