1956 J. Schwinger in Physical Rev. 104 1164/2 It is now natural to suppose that the K meson..possesses a similar physical property [to the nucleonic charge] in the nature of a charge... We shall term this new property hyper(onic) charge.
1969 Physical Rev. Lett. 22 1238/1 Σ− hyperons are formed in the targets through the reactions K− + p → Σ− + π+ and K− + n → Σ− + π0, and upon capture by target nuclei make hyperonic atoms.
1990 New Scientist 4 Aug. 55/1 Pionic, kaonic, antiprotonic and hyperonic atoms yield information on the strong interaction.
