Hello everybody!
I have a doubt about a reaction.
$$ p + n \rightarrow \Lambda + \Sigma^+ $$
I have to establish if it is allowed or not.
My conclusion is that this is a weak allowed reaction. I would like to know if it is correct, because this is not exactly a "typical" weak reaction.
Thanks in advance!

- Charge is conserved (1 -> 1)
- Baryon number is conserved (2 -> 2)
- Strangeness is not conserved (0 -> -2)
- Third component of the isospin is not conserved (0 -> 1)
- Isospin is conserved (1 or 0 -> 1)
- Angular momentum is conserved (1 or 0 -> 1 or 0)
My conclusion is that this is a weak allowed reaction. I would like to know if it is correct, because this is not exactly a "typical" weak reaction.
Thanks in advance!
