ˈmeɪˌzɑn
WordNet
  1. (n) meson
    an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
  1. Meson
    (Physics) An elementary particle made up of two quarks; a hadron having a baryon number of zero; any hadron other than a baryon. Mesons are bosons with integral values of spin, having a mass intermediate between those of the electron and a nucleon; they may have positive or negative charges, or may be neutral. Mesons are of three types: the pionπ-meson), kaonK-mesons), and η-mesons.
  2. Meson
    (Anat) The mesial plane dividing the body of an animal into similar right and left halves. The line in which it meets the dorsal surface has been called the dorsimeson, and the corresponding ventral edge the ventrimeson.
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
  1. (n) meson
    The median plane which divides a body into two equal and symmetrical parts; the vertical longitudinal middle plane, dividing the body into right and left halves. Every median line lies in the meson. The dorsal border of the meson is called the dorsimeson; the ventral, ventrimeson. Also mesium. See median, adjective
  2. (n) meson
    See tetrachord.
