Consider the following decay chain: X 0 0 + 0 0 p

Consider the following decay chain:

ΞX⁰ → Λ⁰ + π ⁰

Λ⁰ → p + π ^–

π⁰ → γ + γ

π ^– → μ ^– + v_μ

μ ^– → e ^– + v ^e + vμ

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

(b) Write the overall decay reaction for Ξ⁰ to the final products.

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

(d) In the first step of the chain, could the Λ⁰ have been a ∑⁰?
