Question: The (1385) hyperon is produced in the reaction K - + p - + + (1385), but is not observed in
The Σ (1385) hyperon is produced in the reaction K- + p → π- + Σ+ (1385), but is not observed in K+ + p→π+ + Σ+ (1385). Its width is Γ = 50 MeV; its main decay channel is π + Λ.
(a) Is the decay strong or weak?
(b) What are the strangeness and the isospin of the hyperon?
