Chapter 32, Problem 39P

To determine

(a) To determine:

The particle that produce the quark combination $\text{uud}$.

Answer to Problem 39P

Solution:

The particle that produces the quark combination $\text{uud}$ is proton $\left(\text{p}\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The quark combination produce is $\text{uud}$.

The combination $\text{uud}$ contains up, up, and down quarks. The total charge on this quark combination is $+1$ and also the baryon number is $+1$. But the values of other quarks like strangeness, charm, bottomness and topness are all equal to $0$.

From the table $32-2$ of the book, proton $\left(\text{p}\right)$ has the following condition of charge and baryon number have $+1$ and all other values of quarks are $0$.

To determine

(b) To determine:

The particle that produce the quark combination .

Answer to Problem 39P

Solution:

The particle that produces the quark combination is Xi Ʃ^-.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The quark combination produce is .

The combination contains all anti-quarks up, up, up and strangeness. The total charge on this quark combination is $-1$. Since all are anti-quarks so, the value of strangeness is $-1$ and the value of baryon number is $-1$. But the values of other quarks like, charm, bottomness and topness are all equal to $0$.

From the table $32-2$ of the book, Xi Ʃ^- has the following condition of charge and strangeness number have $-1$ and all other values of quarks are $0$.

To determine

(c) To determine:

The particle that produce the quark combination .

Answer to Problem 39P

Solution:

The particle that produces the quark combination is Kaon ${\text{K}}^{-}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The quark combination produce is .

The combination contains one antiquark that is up and one quark that is strangeness. The total charge on this quark combination is $-1$. The value of strangeness is $+1$ and the value of Baryon number is $0$. But the values of other quarks like, charm, bottomness and topness are all equal to $0$.

From the table $32-2$ of the book, Kaon${\text{K}}^{-}$ has the following condition of charge and strangeness number have $-1$ and all other values of quarks are $0$.

To determine

(d) To determine:

The particle that produce the quark combination .

Answer to Problem 39P

Solution:

The particle that produces the quark combination is pion ${\text{π}}^{-}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The quark combination produce is .

The combination contains one quark that is down and one antiquark that is strangeness. The total charge on this quark combination is $-1$. The value of all other quarks like, charm, strangeness, baryon number, bottomness and topness are all equal to $0$.

From the table $32-2$ of the book, pion ${\text{π}}^{-}$ has the following condition of charge $-1$ and all other values of quarks are $0$.

To determine

(e) To determine:

The particle that produce the quark combination .

Answer to Problem 39P

Solution:

The particle that produces the quark combination is ${\text{D}}_{\text{S}}^{-}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The quark combination produce is .

The combination contains one quark that is charm and one anti-quark that is strangeness. The total charge on this quark combination is $-1$. The value of strangeness is $-1$ and the value of charm is $+1$. But all other quarks like,, strangeness, baryon number, bottomness and topness are all equal to $0$.

From the table $32-2$ of the book, ${\text{D}}_{\text{S}}^{-}$ has the following condition of charge and strangeness number have $-1$ and all other values of quarks are $0$.
