Particle Physics. A quantized property of hadrons, now attributed to the s quark, that is conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions but not in weak ones and is represented by a quantum number S equal to the hypercharge of a particle minus its baryon numbers. ΘΚΠ the world > matter > physics > atomic physics > particle physics > quark > [noun] > differentiating property > strange > quality of strangeness1956 1956 M. Gell-Mann in Nuovo Cimento IV. Suppl. 852 Since we have S = 0 for ordinary particles and S ≠ 0 for ‘strange’ ones we refer to S as ‘strangeness’. 1960 New Scientist 5 May 1126/2 Like electric charge, the total magnitude of strangeness remains constant in a nuclear process.

Atomic Physics (ed. 5) xxiii. 397 Whilst the strangeness number seems to play a basic part in the baryon reactions it does not operate in the base of the leptons...

Particles v. 92 In the final analysis, either strangeness or hypercharge will suffice as a quantum number. In practice experimenters prefer to use strangeness—largely for historical reasons... On the other hand, some theoreticians have adopted the new terminology as it is easier to manipulate in the equations. 1981 Sci. Amer. June 57/1 Strangeness conservation is now understood to be not a fundamental principle like energy conservation..but a consequence of the detailed theory of the strong interactions.
