URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark#Sea_quarks Next snippet Related snippets Related snippets (backlinks) The quarks that determine the quantum numbers of hadrons are called valence quarks; apart from these, any hadron may contain an indefinite number of virtual "sea" quarks, antiquarks, and gluons, which do not influence its quantum numbers.
