Homework Statement

:[/B]

For the decay of the ∆+ → n + π+, sketch an appropriate quark-level Feynman diagram.

State which interaction is responsible for this decay.

3. The Attempt at a Solution

This is more of a question to see if I'm doing it right more than anything. The first Feynman diagram is one where the strong force is responsible for the decay. The second one is one where the weak force is responsible, I'm not to sure if I'm allowed to do it both ways but if am how can I tell which one to use?

Both are allowed, but which do you think dominates?

strong force? Its a much stronger reaction.
 
Yes, and so we call it a strong decay.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
