A particle game Figure is a sketch of the tracks made by particles in a fictional cloud chamber experiment (with a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the page), and Table 44-6 gives fictional quantum numbers associated with the particles making the tracks. Particle A entered the chamber, leaving track l and decaying into three particles. Then the particle creating track 6 decayed into three other particles, and the particle creating track 4 decayed into two other particles, one of which was electrically uncharged-the path of that uncharged particle is represented by the dashed straight line. The particle that created track B is known to have a seriousness quantum number of zero. By conserving the fictional quantum numbers at each decay point and by noting the directions of curvature of the tracks, identify which particle goes with track
