If isospin is conserved in a given strong interaction, can we say that the interaction is certainly allowed?
If isospin is conserved in a given strong interaction, can we say that it is certainly allowed and it's not needed to check other conservation rules like baryon number, electric charge etc. ?

Cause of Strong force
What is the origin and cause of the strong interaction which occurs between the nucleons? I have read that it is caused by the exchange of mesons but what then ultimately causes this meson exchange to ...

Do all hadrons experience the strong nuclear force?
In nuclear physics, nuclear force, also known as the residual strong force, is mediated by pions exchanged between protons and neutrons. It doesn't seem like this should be limited to protons and ...

Can we say that binding energy is the work done by the strong nuclear force?
I know that the strong nuclear force is the force that holds the nucleus together by overcoming electromagnetic repulsion between protons. Binding energy is the minimum energy that is required to ...

How do the strong and weak forces relate to nuclear fission and fusion?
Fission and fusion are due to the strong and weak forces, but it is unclear to me which is responsible for which.

Does Temperature Affect electromagnetic/Strong/Weak Force?
From what I understand, the energy or temperature of a structure with mass has no effect on the gravitational force it emits. Is the same true for the other fundamental forces?
What would happen to ...

Does the nuclear interaction favour aligned or anti-aligned spins?
My particle physics lecture notes seem to have contradictory statements.
Firstly they argue that p-n is stable while p-p and n-n are not because the nuclear interaction favours spin alignment (and by ...

Does pionium decay in massless QCD?
The bound state of ${\pi}^+ {\pi}^-$ is called Pionium.
Is Pionium an Electromagnetic bound state or a Strong Force one? then Why?
Does such a bound state last forever if one works in QCD with ...

How does the strong force increase in attraction as particles move farther away?
I have heard that the strong force can be imagined similar to a rubber band, where the farther you extend the ends, the harder they pull themselves back together. My question is how? From what it ...

Like quark baryons
Why aren't there particles like neutrons or protons but with 3 up or 3 down quarks, instead of 2 up/1 down or 2 down/1 up. Does there have to be 2 different types of quarks for the strong force to ...

If the Strong Nuclear Force is $6×10^{39}$times stronger than gravity, how is a black hole able to tear nuclei apart?
Furthermore, would a black hole be able to tear apart a quark pair? Would there be a difference in tidal forces on a scale that small?

Is isospin magnitude $I$ conserved? [duplicate]
Here is a table of isospin conservation in certain reactions.
It is often loosely stated that 'isospin is always conserved in strong interactions', but it is never clear whether they mean total ...

How to prove the equivalence of two definitions of hypercharge?
Before introducing top bottom and charm quarks,Strong Hypercharge is defined in the following two ways---
$1.\,\,\,Y=B+S$ where $Y,B,S$ are the hypercharge, baryon number and strangeness respectively.
