To find:
the conservation laws that may be violated in the three given particle reactions and decays:
(a) Λo K- + p
(b) Ω- Σ- + πo

The cross-section for K + p shows a resonance at Pk ~ 400MeV/c. This
resonance appears in the reactions
K¬ + p → Σ +π
→ A++ π
But not in the reaction
K+р→ A+лº
What conclusion can you draw on the isospin value of the resonance?
The primary decay mode for the negative pion isπ− → μ− + ν - μ . What is the energy release in MeV in this decay?
