Composite Particles (Hadrons)

Mesons (quark-antiquark, integer spin)

Meson	Quark Content	Spin	Parity	Mass (MeV)
π⁺	uđ̄	0	-	139.6
π⁰	(uū̄ - dđ̄)/√2	0	-	135.0
π⁻	dū̄	0	-	139.6
K⁺	us̄	0	-	493.7
K⁰	ds̄	0	-	497.6

Spin structure of mesons:

• Spin-0: quark spins anti-aligned (S_q = 0) + L = 0 → J = 0
• Spin-1: quark spins aligned (S_q = 1) + L = 0 → J = 1
• Higher spins: orbital angular momentum L > 0 added to S_q

Baryons (three quarks, half-integer spin)

Baryon	Quark Content	Spin	Mass (MeV)
Proton	uud	1/2	938.3
Neutron	udd	1/2	939.6
Δ⁺⁺	uuu	3/2	1232

Ω⁻	sss	3/2	1672.5
Λ_c⁺	udc	1/2	2286.5
Λ_b⁰	udb	1/2	5619.6

Spin structure of baryons:

• Spin-1/2: three quark spins combine to S_q = 1/2 + L = 0 → J = 1/2
• Spin-3/2: three quark spins combine to S_q = 3/2 + L = 0 → J = 3/2
• The proton and neutron are the only stable baryons (neutron unstable outside nucleus)

Spin Correlation and Entanglement (LHC Data)

Top quark spin correlation matrix (CMS/ATLAS 2024)

The spin correlation matrix C for a tt̄ pair is defined as:

C_{ij} = (σ_{ij} - δ_{ij}) / 3

where σ_{ij} = 4 ⟨s_i ⊗ s_j⟩ is the normalized spin correlation. The entanglement condition is:

|Tr(C)| > 1    (PPT criterion for entanglement)

Observable	SM Prediction	ATLAS/CMS Measurement
ΔΦ_ℓℓ (lepton angle difference)	~2.9 rad	2.87 ± 0.05 rad
A_ΔΦ (asymmetry)	0.42	0.41 ± 0.03
C_{kk} (longitudinal correlation)	-0.31	-0.29 ± 0.04
C_{rr} (transverse correlation)	+0.18	+0.16 ± 0.04

Result: entanglement confirmed at >5σ.
