Strong decay processes, such as the decay of ∑0(1385) to Λ + π0, occur in extremely short timescales of about 10^-23 seconds and are mediated by gluons. In contrast, weak decay processes have longer lifetimes, around 10^-10 seconds, due to the inherently weaker nature of the weak interaction. This difference in decay times is attributed to the strength of the forces involved, with weaker forces leading to slower evolution of the system. The weak force corresponds to lower energy processes, resulting in a slower decay rate. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for comprehending particle interactions and lifetimes in physics.
