"Strange" is no caprice

The kaons and lambda particles that began being seen in cloud chambers in the 1940s and that were lumped together as "V" particles due to the shapes of the trails of their decay products were measured to have much longer lives than was expected for particles of their mass - fifteen orders of magnitude longer - due, it became clear later, to their having to lose strangeness via the slow weak interaction. "Strange" was not at all an inappropriate designation for these heavy, long-lived hadrons.^[1] Rt3368 (talk) 20:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
