SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on creating Feynman diagrams for the decay processes of Δ++ and Ξ- particles. The decay of Δ++ into a proton and a neutral pion (π0) is represented as Δ++ → p + π0, while the decay of Ξ- into a lambda baryon (Λ0) and a negative pion (π-) is expressed as Ξ- → Λ0 + π-. Participants emphasize the importance of analyzing the quark content of these particles to accurately depict the Feynman diagrams, with one user noting a discrepancy in the expected pion type for the Δ++ decay.
