(a) Show that baryon number and charge are conserved in

Chapter 30, Problem 30.1

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Show that baryon number and charge are conserved in the following reactions of a pion with a proton: (1) p1 1 p S K1 1 S1 (2) p1 1 p S p1 1 S1 (b) The fi rst reaction is observed, but the second never occurs. Explain these observations. (c) Could the second reaction happen if it created a third particle? If so, which particles in Table 30.2 might make it possible? Would the reaction require less energy or more energy than the reaction of Equation (1)? Why?
