K+ decay is a type of radioactive decay where a positively charged kaon particle (K+) transforms into a lighter particle, usually a pion (π+) or a muon (μ+), and a neutrino (ν).
K+ decay is represented in a Feynman diagram as a vertex with a K+ particle entering and a lighter particle (π+ or μ+) and a neutrino (ν) leaving.
A Feynman diagram of K+ decay can provide information about the particles involved, their interactions, and the probability of the decay occurring.
A Feynman diagram of K+ decay is considered correct if it follows the rules of the Standard Model of particle physics and accurately represents the particles involved and their interactions.
K+ decay is significant in particle physics as it helps us understand the fundamental interactions between particles and plays a role in the study of the weak nuclear force and the violation of CP symmetry.
