“The physicist studied the isospin of the proton to better understand its behavior in nuclear reactions.”

2. noun

A measure of the symmetry of a system or interaction under isospin transformations, often used in particle physics to describe the properties of particles.

“The isospin of the strong nuclear force is a fundamental concept in the study of subatomic particles.”
