Their rest masses range from 140 to 10,000 megaelectron-volts, and they are sensitive to the strong force because their constituent quarks are strongly interacting. The discoveries of some of these particles, first postulated in 1935 [i] by Yukawa Hideki, have led to the discovery of the bottom and charm quarks, as well as charge-parity violations. For 10 points—name this class of subatomic particles, which includes the J/psi and pions, which are hadrons with an even number of quarks.
