A beam of negative pions enters a bubble chamber and triggers the following reaction and successive decays all take place within the bubble chamber:
\pi- + p \rightarrow \Lambda0 + K0
\Lambda0 \rightarrow \pi + p
K0 \rightarrow \pi+ + \mu + \bar{\nu} \rightarrow e- + \nu + \bar{\nu}
The question asks to determine the types on neutrinos in the K0 and \mu decays, how do I do this? Do I assume, for example, that the electron neutrino always appears with the electron etc?
