> which was sensitive to a quantity called the baryon number, denoted B. This is a property of fundamental particles that, unlike mass or energy, doesn’t have any everyday meaning. It is equal to a simple arithmetic sum of the number of even more fundamental constituents called quarks and antiquarks that make up the protons and neutrons of atomic nuclei. This has to be the longest way possible to say "the number of baryons" The article in general is long-winded, poorly explained and poorly understood.
