Macron (physics)

In physics, particularly in the context of particle physics, a "macron" typically refers to a hypothetical nuclear particle that is heavier than a nucleon (such as a proton or a neutron) but lighter than a hyperon. The term "macron" is not widely used and may appear in specialized literature or theoretical scenarios. It's worth noting that the more commonly known particles include quarks, leptons, bosons, and others.
