Can the rho(0) meson decay to a pion(0)+gamma ray? If so, which, between this decay and the decay to pion(+) + pion(-) dominates? I know decay modes will dominate as a result of the relative strength of fundamental forces involved, so what are the forces and their relative strengths in this case?
Thanks!
