In particle physics, pion (short for pi meson) is the collective name for three subatomic particles: π 0, π + and π −. Pions are the lightest mesons (excluding the misnamed "Mu Meson" or muon) and play an important role in explaining low-energy properties of the strong nuclear force. More @Wikipedia
