Physics:Semileptonic decay
From HandWiki
Short description: Hadron decay process into both leptons and hadrons
In particle physics the semileptonic decay of a hadron is a decay caused by the weak force in which one lepton (and the corresponding neutrino) is produced in addition to one or more hadrons.[1] An example for this can be
- K0 → e− + νe + π+
This is to be contrasted with purely hadronic decays, such as K0 → π+ + π−, which are also mediated by the weak force.[2]
Semileptonic decays of neutral kaons have been used to study kaon oscillations.[3]
