QUESTION ABOVE.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
:[/B]P + P → K+ + K- + P + P
Firstly, I just wanted to check that this is correct. I found the answer pretty quickly by googling it but have since spent a long while trying to understand it. I was hoping that someone might be able to affirm what I have learned as I have read so much that I feel like I'm getting everything a bit confused now.
As far as I'm aware everything in this collision is conserved apart from the isospin. Is this okay to do? and does this mean that I can now assume that this is an Electromagnetic Interaction?
Secondly, Figure 1. gives the table we will be given in our upcoming exam.
I was wondering what a few of the table headings are supposed to denote.
In the quark table:
I assume J = spin
I3 = Isospin
then what does I mean?
and then again in the Hadron table:
J = spin?
I = Isospin?
