On $\Delta^{+}$ particle decay

Using isospin notation $$ \Delta^+=\left|\frac 3 2,\frac 1 2\right\rangle=\frac{1}{\!\sqrt{3}}\bigg(|duu\rangle+|udu\rangle+|uud\rangle\!\bigg) $$ It is known all of the $\Delta$ baryons with mass ...

How does the exchange of pions result in the strong force?

I understand that the residual strong force is a result of an exchange of pions. But I fail to understand how this exchange results in a force that holds nuclei together! May this query please be ...

Parity of the pion, conservation of angular momentum

Here is the problem. The parity of the negative pion was deduced from a reaction of pion with deuteron which results in two neutrons. The deuteron has spin equal to one, pion has zero spin, both had ...
