Question

Q.20 The Gell-Mann - Okuba mass formula defines the mass of baryons as M = M_0 + aY + b \left[I(I + 1) - \frac{1}{4}Y^2\right], where $M_0$, $a$ and $b$ are constants, $I$ represents the isospin and $Y$ represents the hypercharge. If the mass of $\Sigma$ hyperons is same as that of $\Lambda$ hyperons, then the correct option(s) is(are) Options 1. M $\propto$ I(I + 1) 2. M does not depend on I 3. M $\propto$ Y 4. M does not depend on Y

Step 1

M = M₀ + aY + b[I(I + 1) - ¼Y²], where M₀, a, and b are constants, I is the isospin, and Y is the hypercharge. Show more…

The Gell-Mann-Okubo mass formula defines the mass of baryons as M = Mo + aY + bI(I + 1) - y^2 where Mo, a, and b are constants. I represents the isospin and Y represents the hypercharge. If the mass of E hyperons is the same as that of hyperons, then the correct option(s) is(are): Options 1. M = I(I + 1) 2. M does not depend on I 3. MY 4. M does not depend on Y
