In summary, "Allowed hardron reactions" are interactions between particles known as hadrons, which follow the rules of the strong nuclear force and are allowed based on certain conservation laws. These reactions differ from other types of reactions because they involve hadrons, which are composed of quarks. Examples include the decay of a neutron and the production of pions. These reactions are important in understanding the fundamental building blocks of matter and are studied through high-energy particle colliders and advanced technologies.

Could someone please explain to me why uds->uud+danti-up is an allowed reaction even though individual quark number conservations are violated?

Because it's a weak interaction, which doesn't conserve flavor.

PS It's "hadron".

Yes that is true, I forgot to tell him that too ;)
 

1. What are "Allowed hardron reactions"?

"Allowed hardron reactions" refer to the types of interactions that can occur between particles known as hadrons, which are composed of quarks. These reactions follow the rules of the strong nuclear force and are allowed based on certain conservation laws, such as conservation of energy and momentum.

2. How are "Allowed hardron reactions" different from other types of reactions?

"Allowed hardron reactions" are different from other types of reactions, such as nuclear reactions, because they involve the interactions of hadrons, which are composite particles made up of quarks. These reactions are also governed by the strong nuclear force, whereas other reactions may be governed by different forces, such as the electromagnetic force.

3. What are some examples of "Allowed hardron reactions"?

Some examples of "Allowed hardron reactions" include the decay of a neutron into a proton, electron, and antineutrino, or the annihilation of a proton and antiproton into other particles. Other examples include the production of pions or other mesons through the collision of high-energy particles.

4. Why are "Allowed hardron reactions" important in physics?

"Allowed hardron reactions" are important in physics because they help us understand the fundamental building blocks of matter and the interactions between particles. These reactions also play a crucial role in the formation of atomic nuclei and the processes that occur in the early universe.

5. How are "Allowed hardron reactions" studied and observed?

Scientists study and observe "Allowed hardron reactions" using high-energy particle colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. By colliding particles at high speeds, scientists can recreate the conditions that existed in the early universe and observe the resulting reactions. These reactions can also be studied through particle detectors and other advanced technologies.
