Thank you. I interpret your answer as follows: weak isospin is a quantum number that can exist only for fundamental particles. This, because composite particles (hadrons) are the result of an interaction which does not conserve weak isospin. Hence, my assumption that "the weak interaction does...

What are the weak isospins (T3 values) of various hadrons, including the proton, neutron, mesons, hyperons and other hadrons? How is the weak isospin calculated for any hadron? Published sources provide T3 only for fundamental fermions, that is, quarks and leptons. In the fundamental bosonic...
