The Omega-Minus Particle Decays $\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow X ^ { 0 } + \pi ^ { - }$

question 18

Multiple Choice

The omega-minus particle decays $\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow X ^ { 0 } + \pi ^ { - }$ with the X⁰ and the $\pi$ ^- eventually decaying into stable baryon(s) and lepton(s) .Utilizing conservation laws,which of the following is the correct accounting of the decay products?

• A)\(\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow \mathrm { p } + 4 \gamma + 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - } + 2 \overline { \boldsymbol { v } } _ { e } + \boldsymbol { v } _ { \mu } + \overline { \boldsymbol { v } } _ { \mu }\)
• B)\(\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow p + \mu ^ { - } + \bar { v } _ { \mu } + 2 \gamma + e ^ { - }\)
• C)\(\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow 2 e ^ { - } + 2 \bar { v } _ { e } + 4 \gamma + \boldsymbol { v } ^ { + } + \bar { v } _ { \mu }\)
• D)\(\Omega ^ { - } \rightarrow \mathrm { p } + 4 \gamma + e ^ { - } + 2 \overline { \boldsymbol { v } } _ { e } + \boldsymbol { v } _ { \mu } + \overline { \boldsymbol { v } } _ { \mu }\)
