*************************
_A particle around extremely turbulent meat(6)_
_around extremely_
= _a(roun)d_ = *ad*
_meat_ = *lamb*
_turbulent_ = _anagram indicator for_ *ad+lamb*
= *Lambda*
= _A particle_
*************************
_lambda_
noun
1.the eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet (Λ, λ)
2. The *lambda particle*
is a type of subatomic particle in subatomic particle physics
(PARTICLE PHYSICS
an uncharged hyperon with a mass of c.1,115.68 MeV/c, which is c. 2,183 times the mass of an electron: it decays very rapidly, usually into a nucleon and a pion
sometimes called *lambda particle*
or lambda hyperon.)
************************
Lambda is a very clever construction. But the anagrind (turbulet) is coming in the middle of the fodder (ad, lamb). Further two levels of indirection, meat = lamb, and then lamb used as fodder in an anagram is very unusual.
On the other had, muon is a particle, extremely turbulent is tt, tt inside muon, is not an anagram but a containment is cleaner.
When the setters need one or two letters for a construction they will deliberately choose words that could be anagrind to confuse the solvers.
