Baryons are subatomic particles that are composed of three quarks held together by strong nuclear force. They are a type of hadron, which are particles that experience the strong nuclear force. Examples of baryons include protons and neutrons, which are the building blocks of atomic nuclei. Research in baryons involves studying their properties, interactions, and behavior in order to better understand the structure of matter and the forces that govern the universe. This research is important for advancing our understanding of particle physics, nuclear physics, and the fundamental components of the universe.
