Can someone describe the Feynman diagram for the Sigma plus decay to a positive pion and a neutron? I'm fine with the primary decay to the neutral pion and a proton. There appears to be insufficient down quarks created.
A Feynman diagram is a visual representation used in particle physics to depict the interactions between subatomic particles. In the case of secondary Sigma plus decay, the diagram illustrates the decay of a Sigma plus particle into a Lambda baryon and a positive pion.
Feynman diagrams are used to study the decay of Sigma plus particles by showing the possible paths of particle interactions. By analyzing these diagrams, scientists can determine the probabilities of different decay processes and compare them to experimental results.
A Feynman diagram can provide information about the particles involved in the decay process, their energy and momentum, and the interactions between them. It can also help determine the relative likelihood of different decay pathways.
The Feynman diagram of secondary Sigma plus decay follows the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. This means that the total energy and momentum of the initial particles must be equal to the total energy and momentum of the final particles.
Feynman diagrams are used in many areas of particle physics, including the study of other decays, particle interactions, and the behavior of subatomic particles in high-energy collisions. They are also used in theoretical calculations and predictions of particle behavior.
