The Λ0 baryon has two possible decays, the first is Λ0→π0+n0 and the second Λ0→π−+p+.
I've been asked to determine the ratio of protons to neutrons observed in the decay.
Properties: ParticleSpinChargetotal isospinΛ01200n012012p+12+112π−0−11π0001
Charge and angular momentum are conserved in the decay, but the total isospin changes by 12. I'm supposed to ignore all relativistic effects.
How do I even begin with this question? I don't understand how these conservations lead to the number of particles observed in the decay...
