Homework Statement



Hello, I am trying to draw a Feynman Diagram at quark level for the decay sigma+ -> neutron + pi+.

Homework Equations



sigma+ -> neutron + pi+
uus -> udd + udbar

The Attempt at a Solution



Well, the attachment is what I came up with. I have no idea if it's right to be honest, I can't see anything wrong with it, but I have no idea how to be methodical about these kinds of drawings, and haven't found any particle physics texts to be much help.

Thanks for your help!

At least a W- and then a Z or a gamma.
