Title: Where can I find a full list of neutral particles?
Post by: jeffreyH on 10/11/2019 00:44:14

Apart from the neutron is there a list of the other known neutral particles?

I don't know if there is an exhaustive list anywhere, but you can certainly find lists of particles on Wikipedia (although you'll have to sift through the charged particles as well):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_baryons
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mesons

Then there is also the gluon, photon, Z boson and Higgs boson. Theoretically, there are the axion and WIMPs.

The periodic table has a list of an additional 92 naturally-occurring neutral particles.

There are also some short-lived ones, like Einsteinium and Positronium (the latter doesn't appear in the periodic table:

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to compile a list. I do have a book on particles somewhere. I may dig that out.

no one has mentioned neutrinos yet!

When you say particle... do you mean elementary particle? subatomic particle? neutral atoms? neutral molecules? neutral nanoparticles? neutral planets?
