Abstract

Basic properties of L-mesons, K-mesons, and hyperons are summarized in the light of evidence available in mid-1955. Masses, decay schemes, lifetimes, and Q-values are tabulated. The accompanying notes describe how “best values” were arrived at, and serve as a guide to a representative selection of references on unstable particles.
