Question
A positively charged pion decays by Eq. 44-7: $\pi^{+} \rightarrow \mu^{+}+\nu$. What must be the decay scheme of the negatively charged pion? (Hint: The $\pi^{-}$ is the antiparticle of the $\pi^{+} .$ )
Step 1
The equation $\pi^{+} \rightarrow \mu^{+}+\nu$ represents the decay of a positively charged pion ($\pi^{+}$) into a positively charged muon ($\mu^{+}$) and a muon neutrino ($\nu$). Show more…

General Properties of Elementary Particles A positively charged pion decays by Eq. $447 : \pi^{+} \rightarrow \mu^{+}+\nu$. What must be the decay scheme of the negatively charged pion? (Hint: The $\pi^{-}$ is the antiparticle of the $\pi^{+} .$ )
A charged pion can decay either into a muon or an elecThe two decay modes of a $\pi^{-}$ are: $\pi^{-} \rightarrow \mu^{-}+\bar{v}_{\mu}$ and $\pi^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{-}+\bar{\nu}_{\mathrm{e}} .$ Write the two decay modes for the $\pi^{+}$ [ Hint: $\pi^{+}$ is the antiparticle of $\pi^{-} .$ Replace each particle in the decay reaction with its corresponding antiparticle.]
