Feynman Diagrams for Decay of Δ++ & Ξ- Particles

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics, specifically baryons and mesons
  • Familiarity with Feynman diagrams and their construction
  • Knowledge of quark content for Δ++, Ξ-, p, π0, Λ0, and π- particles
  • Basic proficiency in analyzing decay processes in particle interactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the quark content of baryons and mesons in detail
  • Learn how to construct Feynman diagrams for particle decays
  • Research the conservation laws applicable to particle decays
  • Explore advanced topics in particle interactions, such as weak and strong forces
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in particle physics, physicists interested in decay processes, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Feynman diagrams and particle interactions.

Homework Statement
Would appreciate help with Feynman Diagrams for these two decays:
1.- DELTA ++ into proton + PI 0
Δ ++ → p + π0
2.- XSI - into SIGMA 0 + PI minus
Ξ - → Λ0 + π-
Relevant Equations
Δ ++ → p + π0
Ξ - → Λ0 + π-
Δ ++ → p + π0
Ξ - → Λ0 + π-

First you need to show some effort, first of all, have you done a quick analysis to see if these decays are possible?

To add to what Gaussian97 said, start with the quark content of all these particles.
 
For the process 1, I can get Feynman diagram but with a pi_+, not with a pi_0

For the process 2, I am not sure abt file attached (right figure)

Thanks again
