- For this problem, you may use your notes and the tables provided only.
a. For the given quark combination (s,s,d) determine the baryon number, the strangeness, and the electric charge quantum number, Q’. Recall, a particle’s charge q is related to its electric charge quantum number Q’ by q = eQ’. You may use the tables provided only.
b. Using the tables provided, identify the hadron that corresponds to the above data. Estimate the expected mass of the hadron.
c. Determine the hypercharge, the z-component of the isospin, and the isospin for the hadron given in your answer to part b) above
d. If the normal decay mode of this particle is the one given below, identify which one of the four fundamental interactions is most likely responsible for the equation listed below. Justify your answer.
