Second baryon octet
Let's temporarily ignore spin. If 3 denotes the standard representation of SU(3), 1 the trivial rep, 8 the adjoint rep and 10 the symmetric cube then it's well-known that
3 x 3 x 3 = 1 + 8 + 8 + 10

Final-state baryons in $p \bar p$ collisions in Pythia
I'm trying to simulate inclusive $\chi_c$ production in $p \bar p$ collisions at very low energies (~ 5.5 GeV) using Pythia8 event generator. Leaving aside problems bounded with applicability of ...

What barriers exist to prevent us from turning a baryon into a anti-baryon?
At present the only way we can produce anti-matter is through high powered collisions. New matter is created from the energy produced in these collisions and some of them are anti-matter particles ...

Or in proton-electron collision.
To destroy is to turn into other particles, not baryons.
In context of the baryon asymmetry.
