Why is the eta particle written as 1/sqrt(6) *(uu(bar) + dd(bar) -2ss(bar))?
Thanks

The Eta Particle, also known as the Eta Meson, is a subatomic particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark. It is a type of meson, which is a particle composed of a quark and an antiquark bound together by the strong nuclear force.
The composition of the Eta Particle is calculated using a mathematical formula known as the quark model. This model takes into account the properties of the quarks and the strong nuclear force to determine the composition of the particle.
The Eta Particle is composed of one up quark and one anti-strange quark. This combination of quarks gives the particle a net charge of 0 and a spin of 0. It also has a mass of approximately 547 MeV/c².
The composition of the Eta Particle, specifically the types of quarks it is composed of, determines its properties such as its mass, charge, and spin. These properties affect how the particle interacts with other particles and how it decays over time.
Scientists use a variety of experiments, such as particle accelerators and detectors, to study the composition of the Eta Particle. These experiments involve colliding particles at high energies and analyzing the resulting particles to determine their composition and properties.
