Baryon number is +1 on the left side of the equation, 0 on the
right side. Baryon number is not conserved.
<h3>How do you determine whether a baryon number is conserved?</h3>- According to the law of conservation of baryon number, the sum of the baryon numbers of all incoming particles equals the sum of the baryon numbers of all particles produced by the reaction. Energy, and so on, are conserved even if the incoming proton has sufficient energy and charge.
- In particle physics, the baryon number denotes which particles are baryons and which particles are not. Each baryon has a baryon number of 1, and each antibaryon has a baryon number of -1. Other non-baryonic particles have a baryon number of 0. Since there are exotic hadrons like pentaquarks and tetraquarks, there is a general definition of baryon number as:
- B=1/3(
)
- where
represents the number of quarks and nq represents the number of antiquarks.
