Conceptually the simplest <mesons>. All of them have neutral <color charge>:
* charged: down + anti-up or up + anti-down, therefore with net electrical charge $\pm1$ <electron charge>
* neutral: down + anti-down or up + anti-up, therefore with net electrical charge 0


Pion

Positron

* <positron>, later confirmed with <gamma ray> experiments by <Carl David Anderson>
* <muon>
* <pion>
* <kaon>
