LAMBDA 3.1

Lambda is a complex compound composed of a first order charged pion bound to proton through a particle bond.

Lambda Anti-Lambda

The host of the weak bond is not clear. Since the host particle of the weak bond is not clear, it is not clear whether the decay products are dependent on which sub-unit is the host of the weak bond. The convention here will be to consider the proton as the non-weakly bound sub-unit when possible.

The particles of the weak force electrical bond make the particle bond possible. The assumption is made that the weak force bond constituents, the negative unit particle of matter and the neutrino, can bond to either the pion or the proton during the decay process. Therefore, the decay products are either a pi- and a proton, or, a pi0 and a neutron.

Positive Sigma

Positive Sigma is a complex compound composed of a second order neutral pion bound to a proton by at least one particle bond.

Positive Sigma Anti-Positive Sigma

In positive sigma, the weak force bound negative unit particle of matter can attach to either the pi+ or the proton during decay. Therefore, the resultant decay products are either a pi+ and a neutron, or a second order neutral pion and a proton.

SIGMA

Neutral Sigma

Neutral Sigma is a compound of a second order neutral pion bound to a neutron by at least one particle bond.

Neutral Sigma Anti-Neutral Sigma

One decay mode of neutral sigma is when the neutron and the second order neutral pion split. Alternatively, a pair of weak force bonded unit particle of matters could collapse producing a lambda particle and neutrinos.

Negative Sigma

Negative Sigma is a complex compound composed of a negatively charged pion bound to a neutron by a particle bond.

Negative Sigma Anti-Negative Sigma

For negative sigma, both of the weakly bound negative unit particle of matters may not bind to the same sub-unit during decay. Therefore, the major decay products are a pi- and a neutron.

XI

Neutral Xi

Neutral Xi is a compound composed of one first order negative pion and one second order neutral pion bound to a proton by two particle bonds.

Neutral Xi Anti-Neutral Xi

The principal decay mode of the neutral Xi particle is to decay into a lambda and a second order neutral pion.

Lambda + pi0'

Negative Xi

Negative Xi is a complex compound composed of two first order negative pions bound to a proton by particle bonds. Anti-Negative Xi is centered around the negative anti-proton which has two positive pions bound to it.

Negative Xi Anti-Negative Xi

The principal decay mode of Xi- is to divide into a lambda and a negative pion.

Lambda + pi-

The greater mass of negative Xi over the mass of neutral Xi, even though neutral Xi contains more unit particle of matters, is explained by neutral Xi having only one unpaired weakly bound unit particle of matter and negative Xi having two unpaired weakly bound unit particle of matters which have the same charge.

OMEGA

Omega Minus is a compound composed of two first order negative pions, a second order neutral pion, and a proton, all bound together by particle bonds.

Omega Minus Anti-Omega Minus

Omega- is basically a neutral Xi with an additional negative pion bound to it. What is not clear is whether the negative pion is attached to the proton or to the neutral pion.


Omega- has two principal decay modes. Not surprisingly, one principal decay mode is when omega- splits into a neutral Xi and a negative pion. The other principal decay mode is when omega- splits into a Xi- and neutral pion.
