Higgs decay into baryon-antibaryon pair
I have an exercise for "Introduction to high energy physics" and I'm baffled. The exercise states:
Problem: Higgs particle of mass 125.7 GeV decays in an exclusive channel of baryon-...

How does the process $\bar{K}^0+p \to \Lambda^0+\pi^+$ work?
I was asked to find an energy for the $\bar{K}^0+p \to \Lambda^0+\pi^+$ interaction for an exercise and I got curious about how the Feynman diagram for this process would look like.
In terms of quarks,...

Why are the lifetimes of the neutral and charged $\Xi$ hyperons so different?
According to the Particle Data Group, the lifetimes of the neutral and charged $\Xi$ baryons differ significantly: $\tau(\Xi^-) = (1.639 \pm 0.015) \times 10^{-10}$ s, while $\tau(\Xi^0) = (2.90 \pm 0....

$\Sigma^{+}$ baryon decay- why no decays to neutron and electron-neutrino pair?
I am working on a homework problem involving a decay of the form
$\Sigma^+\rightarrow n+e^++\nu_e$,
with the goal of providing justification for why this decay is not experimentally observed. To ...

Conservation of Baryon number for this proton decay
The conservation law requires that Baryon number be conserved; that is, the sum of the Baryon number before and after a reaction/ decay must always equal the sum of the Baryon number after the ...
