Question: Consider the following decay chain: 0 + 0 + + e + v e

Consider the following decay chain:

Ω → Ξ0 + π 

Ξ0 → ∑+ + e – + ve

π  → μ  + vμ

+ → n + π+

π+ → μ + + vμ

μ + → e + + v μ + ve

μ – → e – + ve + nμ

(a) Are all the final products shown stable? If not, finish the decay chain.

(b) Write the overall decay reaction for Ω to the final products.

(c) Check the overall decay reaction for the conservation of electric charge, baryon number, lepton number, and strangeness.
