	Baryon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Baryons are strongly interacting fermions — that is, they experience the strong nuclear force and are described by Fermi-Dirac statistics, which apply to all particles obeying the Pauli exclusion principle.
		Baryons, along with mesons, belong to the family of particles known as hadrons, meaning they are composed of quarks.
		Baryonic matter is matter composed mostly of baryons (by mass), which includes atoms of any sort (and thus includes nearly all matter that we may encounter or experience in everyday life, including ourselves).

	The Baryon Fraction Test
		The main impact of varying the baryon fraction is on the relative amplitude of the peaks in the angular power spectrum of the microwave background (as expanded in spherical harmonics).
		In the purely baryonic MOND cases, there is a longer drop from the first peak to the first trough, and a shorter rise to the second peak than in the CDM cases.
		Baryonic models with zero neutrino mass have perceptibly broader peaks than the equivalent CDM model, but zero CDM models with finite neutrino mass have peaks which are similar in width to those in the CDM models.

	Baryon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The baryons are a family of subatomic particles including the proton, the neutron (collectively called nucleons), and a number of unstable, heavier particles (called hyperons).
		Baryons are strongly interacting fermions, that is, they experience the strong nuclear force and are described by Fermi-Dirac statistics, which apply to all particles obeying the Pauli exclusion principle.
		Baryons have three quarks, whereas mesons have a quark and an antiquark and so are bosonic.

	AllRefer.com - baryon (Physics) - Encyclopedia
		From a technical point of view, baryons are strongly interacting fermions; i.e., they experience the strong nuclear force and are described by the Fermi-Dirac statistics, which apply to all particles obeying the Pauli exclusion principle.
		All members of the baryon family of particles adhere to the law of conservation of baryon family number (see conservation laws, in physics); the baryon family number is +1 for ordinary baryons and -1 for antibaryons (see antiparticle).
		In addition to the nucleons (protons and neutrons), other members of the baryon family include the lambda, sigma, delta, xi, and N particles, as well as a series of higher-mass recurrences of each of these particles.

	[142.08] Baryon Oscillations in the Large Scale Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The oscillations in baryons are frozen in at the time of decoupling from photons and are expected to be present in the power spectrum of matter fluctuations today.
		Compared to CMB peaks, due to small baryon to cold dark matter density fractions of order 10% to 15% in currently flavored cosmologies, the oscillations in the matter power spectrum have amplitudes which are significantly smaller with amplitudes less than 10%.
		We discuss various observational possibilities of baryon oscillations in the matter power spectrum and suggest that surveys sensitive to galaxy groups at redshifts around one may be better than surveys at low redshifts involving galaxies.

	Physics Today - Search and Discovery September 2003
		It's been a long-standing puzzle that the quantum numbers of all the known mesons and baryons could be attributed to bound states of two or three quarks.
		Before this year, every one of the hundreds of well-established baryons and mesons (collectively called hadrons) could be described either as a bound triplet of quarks (the baryons) or a bound quark-antiquark pair (the mesons).
		It was soon recognized that the three-flavor skyrmion model predicted the existence of an "antidecuplet" of presumably undiscovered baryon species that all have the same spin (1/2) and intrinsic parity (+) as the nucleon (see figure 1).

	Observation of Exotic Baryon
		Although research is on-going, evidence is mounting in favor of the existence of a new subatomic particle known as the pentaquark.
		The pentaquark, made up of "five" quarks (specifically, 4 quarks and 1 anti-quark), that was found is the first example of a new classification of particle known as an exotic baryon.
		The classic example of a baryon is the proton, with two "up" quarks and one "down" quarks.

	FOCUS double charm baryon search
		An extensive search for fully reconstructed doubly-charmed baryon candidates using FOCUS data was conducted in 2000.
		Cuts were chosen by maximizing S/sqrt(B) where S is determined from Monte Carlo simulated events and B is taken from the data over the mass range 3.4 to 4.1 GeV.
		Below are plots of all double charm baryon candidates which were searched for as well as just the two decay modes searched for by SELEX, with the SELEX signal areas shaded.

	Baryon Number Generation in the Early Universe (1980)
		If particles carrying baryon number also carry electric charges (but the sum of the charges of all baryon species is non-zero), then to maintain the overall charge neutrality of the universe any baryon excess must be compensated by a suitable antilepton excess.
		produced eventually decay approximately symmetrically to baryons and antibaryons, and hence baryon asymmetry is diminished.
		then the calculations of baryon number generation given above must be modified considerably; in the standard SU(5) model this case does not occur, except in the presence of massive fermions forbidden by other considerations [20].

	Baryon Loading
		So far we have been neglecting the baryons in the dynamics of the acoustic oscillations.
		For typical values of the baryon density this number is of order unity at recombination and so we expect baryonic effects to begin appearing in the oscillations just as they are frozen in.
		Baryons are conceptually easy to include in the evolution equations since their momentum density provides

		Baryons are characterized by a baryon number of one (1).
		An atom containing, for example, one proton and one neutron (each with a baryon number of one) has a baryon number of two.
		In addition to their differences in composition, baryons and mesons can be distinguished from one another by spin: the three quarks that make up a baryon can only produce half-integer values, while meson spins always add up to integer values.

	Wired News: Hunting the Doubly Charmed Baryon
		After double-checking their numbers with others in the international firmament of high-energy particle physicists, Russ and company will present their preliminary findings at a big conference in Vancouver in late June, and then at a bigger conference in Amsterdam in late July.
		The decays of these desired particles are captured by silicon strip detectors, which feed data about the particles' direction and momentum to a file-sharing farm of PC computers that crunch the numbers.
		Compared to the predictions of theory, the difference in mass between the double-charmed baryons with an up quark and those with a down quark is much bigger, and the rate of production is much higher.

	Dark Matter from Baryon Asymmetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The measured densities of dark and baryonic matter are surprisingly close to each other, even though the baryon asymmetry and the dark matter are usually explained by unrelated mechanisms.
		We consider a scenario where the dark matter S is produced non-thermally from the decay of a messenger particle X, which carries the baryon number and compensates for the baryon asymmetry in the Universe, thereby establishing a connection between the baryonic and dark matter densities.
		Therefore in hadron colliders the signal is similar to that of a stable or long-lived gluino in supersymmetric models.

	Observation of Exotic Baryon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ordinary hadrons include baryons and mesons, which are described by three-quark and quark-antiquark configurations, respectively.
		The new data show strong evidence for a five-quark baryon state at a mass of 1.54 GeV, with a narrow width of 22 MeV (FWHM).
		The discovery of this new exotic baryon state should have far-reaching consequences for our theory of hadronic interactions that attempt to explain the structure of matter and the possible states of matter.

		It requires the introduction of a baryon number carrying singlet which is in equilibrium in the early universe and shares any existing baryon asymmetry.
		Majorana masses of the neutrino implies lepton number violation and is intimately related to the lepton asymmetry of the universe, which gets related to the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of the sphalerons during the electroweak phase transition.
		Non-perturbative electroweak effects, in thermal equilibrium in the early universe, have the potential to erase the baryon asymmetry of the universe, unless it is encoded in a B-L asymmetry, or in some "accidentally" conserved quantity.

	The Omega Baryon
		The omega-minus, a baryon composed of three strange quarks, is a classic example of the need for the property called "color" in describing particles.
		Since quarks are fermions with spin 1/2, they must obey the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot exist in identical states.
		The discovery of the omega baryon was a great triumph for the quark model of baryons because it was searched for and found only after its existence, mass, and decay modes were predicted by the quark model.
