    Graduate (Non-)mixing of K vector bosons

    Is the idea that the K* just decays too quickly into Kπ by a strong interaction?

    Graduate (Non-)mixing of K vector bosons

    I don't know how to do the suggested calculation -- I was expecting some sort of selection rule to apply

    Graduate (Non-)mixing of K vector bosons

    Why don't the vector bosons K(0*) and K-bar(0*) mix the way the pseudo-scalar bosons, K(0) and K-bar(0) do?

    Graduate Why is 3 pion decay of eta (η) strong forbidden?

    How do you find the result of the I2 rotation operation?

    Graduate Why is 3 pion decay of eta (η) strong forbidden?

    I have read that 3 pion decay of the eta is not allowed as a strong reaction, but proceeds as an electromagnetic interaction. I do not see why it is strong forbidden.
