カオン
kaon
The English phrase "kaon" is translated into Japanese as カオン.
カオン is an unstable subatomic particle that consists of a meson.
How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is kaon.
Did you know?
- In Japanese physics journals, you might see the particle referred to as K中間子 (K-chūkanshi), which translates literally to 'K-meson'.
- If a Japanese physicist were discussing the particle's properties, they might use the word 崩壊 (hōkai), meaning 'decay', which is a common term in both everyday Japanese and particle physics.
- If a Japanese speaker were to write カオン using hiragana as かおん, it would look like an elementary school textbook or a poetic expression rather than a scientific paper.

- 今晩、ごはんを食べに行かない？How about going out for a meal tonight?

Example conversation
Two university students are discussing their physics lab results.
- 陽葵 Himari健太、今回の実験でカオンは見つかった？Kenta, konkai no jikken de kaon wa mitsukatta?Kenta, was the kaon found in this experiment?
- 健太 Kentaいや、カオンの観測はできなかったよ。Iya, kaon no kansoku wa dekinakatta yo.No, the observation of the kaon was not possible.
