Hello! Given an excited state of a nucleon, such as the ##\Delta## baryon (and here I mean all its 4 version ##\Delta^{++}##, ##\Delta^{+}##, ##\Delta^{0}##, ##\Delta^{-}##), the decay channel is (in this case) to a pion and a nucleon. I was wondering, is the decay probability the same for all 4 versions? I assume that they all decay through the strong force, and I don't see any quantum number that might favor one over the other, but I am not totally sure. Thank you!
