Strange Particles And Coonservation Of Properties Flashcards
1
Q
What are strange particles created via?
What does this mean in terms of strangeness?
A
Strong interaction
Strangeness is conserved
2
Q
What does the conservation of strangeness mean?
A
Strange particles can only be created in pairs
3
Q
Like the baryon number, what is strangeness?
A
A quantum number
4
Q
How do strange particles decay?
A
Through the weak interaction
5
Q
Is strangeness conserved in the weak interaction?
A
No
6
Q
In any particle interaction, what must be true about the total charge?
A
Total charge after the interaction must equal the total charge before the interaction
