A Kaon K+ breaks down into two particles. From amongst the following three particles:
π0 (neutral pion)
η0 (eta meson)
μ+ (anti-muon, identical to a muon except for its electric charge)
which one(s) can be formed as the products of the described break-down? (the other product is not known).
a. π0
b. η0
c. μ+
d. η0, π0
e. μ+, π0
f. μ+, η0
g. all three of them
h. none of them
Please reason your answer based on the various laws of conservation, and explain in precise terms why each one the three particles can or cannot be the product of the breakdown.
Thank you!
