The strangeness of a particle is defined as:S = -(n_text{s} - n_{bar{text{s}}})where n{{SubatomicParticle|Strange quark}} represents the number of strange quarks ({{SubatomicParticle|Strange quark}}) and n{{SubatomicParticle|Strange antiquark}} represents the number of strange antiquarks ({{SubatomicParticle|Strange antiquark}}). Evaluation of strangeness production has become an important tool in search, discovery, observation and interpretation of quarkâgluon plasma (QGP).JOURNAL, Margetis, Spyridon, SafarÃk, Karel, Villalobos Baillie, Orlando, 2000, Strangeness Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions, Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, en, 50, 1, 299â342, 10.1146/annurev.nucl.50.1.299, free, 2000ARNPS..50..299S, 0163-8998, Strangeness is an excited state of matter and its decay is governed by CKM mixing. The terms strange and strangeness predate the discovery of the quark, and were adopted after its discovery in order to preserve the continuity of the phrase: strangeness of particles as â1 and anti-particles as +1, per the original definition. For all the quark flavour quantum numbers (strangeness, charm, topness and bottomness) the convention is that the flavour charge and the electric charge of a quark have the same sign. With this, any flavour carried by a charged meson has the same sign as its charge.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia

Strangeness was introduced by Murray Gell-Mann,JOURNAL, Gell-Mann, M., 1953-11-01, Isotopic Spin and New Unstable Particles,weblink Physical Review, en, 92, 3, 833â834, 10.1103/PhysRev.92.833, 1953PhRv...92..833G, 0031-899X, Abraham Pais,JOURNAL, Pais, A., 1952-06-01, Some Remarks on the V -Particles,weblink Physical Review, en, 86, 5, 663â672, 10.1103/PhysRev.86.663, 1952PhRv...86..663P, 0031-899X, JOURNAL, Pais, A., October 1953, On the Baryonâmesonâphoton System, Progress of Theoretical Physics, en, 10, 4, 457â469, 10.1143/PTP.10.457, 1953PThPh..10..457P, 0033-068X, free, Tadao Nakano and Kazuhiko NishijimaJOURNAL, Nakano, Tadao, Nishijima, Kazuhiko, November 1953, Charge Independence for V -particles, Progress of Theoretical Physics, en, 10, 5, 581â582, 10.1143/PTP.10.581, 1953PThPh..10..581N, 0033-068X, free, to explain the fact that certain particles, such as the kaons or the hyperons {{Subatomic particle|Sigma}} and {{Subatomic particle|Lambda}}, were created easily in particle collisions, yet decayed much more slowly than expected for their large masses and large production cross sections. Noting that collisions seemed to always produce pairs of these particles, it was postulated that a new conserved quantity, dubbed "strangeness", was preserved during their creation, but not conserved in their decay.BOOK, Griffiths, David J. (David Jeffery), 1942â, Introduction to elementary particles, 1987, Wiley, 0-471-60386-4, New York, 19468842, In our modern understanding, strangeness is conserved during the strong and the electromagnetic interactions, but not during the weak interactions. Consequently, the lightest particles containing a strange quark cannot decay by the strong interaction, and must instead decay via the much slower weak interaction. In most cases these decays change the value of the strangeness by one unit. However, this doesn't necessarily hold in second-order weak reactions, where there are mixes of {{SubatomicParticle|Kaon0}} and {{SubatomicParticle|Antikaon0}} mesons. All in all, the amount of strangeness can change in a weak interaction reaction by +1, 0 or â1 (depending on the reaction).For example, the interaction of a Kâ meson with a proton is represented as:K^-+p rightarrow Xi^0+K^0(-1) + (0) rightarrow (-2) + (1)Here strangeness is conserved and the interaction proceeds via the strong nuclear force.WEB,weblink The Nobel Prize in Physics 1968, NobelPrize.org, en-US, 2020-03-15, However, in reactions like the decay of the positive kaon:K^+ rightarrow pi^+ + pi^0+1 rightarrow (0) + (0)Since both pions have a strangeness of 0, this violates conservation of strangeness, meaning the reaction must go via the weak force.See also
