Strangeness and quark–gluon plasma
ID: strangeness-and-quark-gluon-plasma
### Strangeness Strangeness is a quantum number that reflects the presence of strange quarks in a particle. In particle physics, quarks are the fundamental constituents of hadrons (such as protons and neutrons), and there are six "flavors" of quarks: up, down, charm, bottom, top, and strange. The strangeness quantum number is used to describe the abundance of strange quarks in a particle.
