Feynman Diagram for Double Charm Baryon

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Feynman diagram related to the decay of the double charm baryon, specifically the ##\Xi_{cc}^{++}##. Participants confirm that the origins of the up and down quark anti-quark pairs contributing to this decay are gluon-initiated processes. The gluons involved can originate from various sources, although they are not depicted in the diagram for clarity. This simplification aids in understanding the fundamental interactions at play in particle physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Feynman diagrams
  • Knowledge of quark and gluon interactions
  • Familiarity with baryon decay processes
  • Basic principles of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
NEXT STEPS

This Feynman diagram accompanied the announcement on the public LHCb site. How would you describe the origins of the up and down quark anti-quark pairs that that contribute to the decay of the ##\Xi_{cc}^{++}##?

Gluon-initiated. The gluons can come from anywhere, they are not drawn to keep the diagram simpler.

Thanks for the quick reply. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I figured it had to be gluons scattering from somewhere.
