has definition The Big Bang era when the Universe was matter-dominated, containing many hadrons in equilibrium with the radiation field and when kT ≈ mπ. The hadron era ended when the characteristic photon energy fell below the rest mass of a pion or π-meson (270 electron masses), and very few hadrons remained (about one hadron for every 108 photons).has source: Silk, J. 1990 The Big Bang, W.
