(a.) Are the following quantum numbers (appropriately defined) conserved ? Charge - Q, Lepton number - L, Baryon number - B, Isospin - I, 13, Strangeness - S. List all these quantum numbers on both sides of the interaction carefully and determine if they are conserved. (b.) On the basis of (a.), and whatever other characteristics you think might be relevant, determine which force causes the interaction: Weak (W), Electromagnetic (EM), or Strong (S)?
