Question

For this problem, you may use your notes and the tables provided only for parts a, b, and c.

a) For the given quark combination ( 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’. [Note: we are using the symbol Q’ so as to prevent confusion with the Q-value of a nuclear decay.] 

b) Using the tables provided, identify the hadron that corresponds to the above data. Estimate the

2 expected mass of the hadron in units of MeV/c^2

c) Determine the hypercharge, the z-component of the isospin, and the isospin for the hadron given in your answer to part b) above.
