Question: The particles X 0 (1193) and Y (1321) can be produced in the strong interaction processes K + p Ï 0 + X 0 and

The particles X0(1193) and Yˆ’(1321) can be produced in the strong interaction processes Kˆ’+ p †’ Ï€0+ X0and Kˆ’+ p †’ K++ Yˆ’respectively. Deduce the baryon number, strangeness, charm and bottom quantum numbers in each case and using these give their quark content. The Yˆ’(1321) decays by the reaction Yˆ’†’ Λ + Ï€ˆ’. Use the €˜typical values€™ of Table 3.5 to give a rough estimate of its lifetime. Table 3.5 The combinations of charge and strangeness allowed for hadrons in the simple quark model for states with C = ?
