<strong>An</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r complication: strangeness<br />

New particles produced by pairs with strict rules, e.g., Λ with K +<br />

but not with K −<br />

and decaying with similar rules or weakly,<br />

A new quantum number was empirically invented, strangeness,<br />

which is<br />

conserved by strong interactions (production, strong decay)<br />

violated by weak interactions<br />

weak decay linked <strong>to</strong> ordinary β decay (Gell-Mann, Lévy,<br />

Cabbibo)<br />
