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

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around Feynman diagrams related to the decay processes of the Δ++ and Ξ- particles. Participants are exploring the feasibility and representation of these decays in particle physics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the possibility of the decay processes and discussing the quark content of the involved particles. There is mention of discrepancies in the expected decay products, particularly regarding the π0 and π- mesons.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided guidance on starting points, such as analyzing the quark content, while others are exploring different interpretations of the decay processes. There is an ongoing examination of the details without a clear consensus on the correct representations.

Contextual Notes

Participants are encouraged to show effort in their analysis, indicating that there may be imposed homework rules regarding the depth of analysis expected. There are also mentions of potential errors in the diagrams being discussed.

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
