So my apologies to people who work on targetry. But you dump your protons into this material. And then they scatter around and they produce mesons. So mesons are even simpler in some ways than protons. Protons are baryons because they have three quarks. Mesons have a quark and an anti-quark. And they're lighter than baryons most of the time because they're made of less stuff.
