The law of baryon conservation states that the total number of baryons remains constant in isolated systems, independent of lepton number conservation. According to the Standard Model of particle physics, both baryon and lepton numbers are conserved at low energies, but can be violated at higher energies due to non-perturbative effects. Experimental evidence confirms that baryons cannot decay solely into mesons, as mesons carry a baryon number of zero, meaning a baryon can only decay into another baryon and mesons.
PREREQUISITESStudents and researchers in particle physics, physicists studying conservation laws, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles governing baryon interactions.
If baryon number is conserved, a baryon cannot decay into mesons only (it can decay into another baryon and mesons) as mesons have baryon number zero.lightoflife said:Also, does it mean that no experimental evidence shows that baryons can decay into mesons.
