I am revising for an exam and was confused by a question on a previous exam paper. There is a Sigma particle with a *- next to it. We are asked what is the quark make up of this particle. The - means that it is negatively charged, but what does the star mean? Also what is the answer to the question? Is it {strange, strange, strange}, {strange, strange, down} or {strange, down, down}?

What the hell are you talking about goring.... I can see you have no idea what a strange I am talking about.

{strange, down, down}
sigma particles have only one strange quark

Down the line of mass structures of the atom The charge structure of its basic component as we all agree is really very strange even extremely strange.
An exact definition of charge still remains to be explicitly explained.
