The existence of the pion was predicted in 1935 by Hideki Yukawa, who theorized that it was responsible for the forceforce, commonly, a "push" or "pull," more properly defined in physics as a quantity that changes the motion, size, or shape of a body. Force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. .....

The charged pions, π+ and π−, each have a mass about 273 times that of the electron. The neutral pion is its own antiparticleantiparticle, elementary particle corresponding to an ordinary particle such as the proton, neutron, or electron, but having the opposite electrical charge and magnetic moment. .....

It is now known that each pion (and, more generally, each meson) consists of a quark bound to an antiquark. Free pions are unstable. The charged pions decay with an average lifetime of 2.55 × 10−8 sec into a muonmuon , elementary particle heavier than an electron but lighter than other particles having nonzero rest mass.
