单词 | omega minus |
释义 | > as lemmasomega minus c. In full omega minus. A negatively charged hyperon with a mass of 1672 MeV that decays via the weak interaction into either a xi particle and a pion or a lambda particle and a kaon. Frequently written Ω−.The omega minus has strangeness of −3, zero isospin, spin of 3/2, and positive parity. It was predicted by the theory of the eightfold way, and its discovery in 1964 was important in the development of the concept of quarks.

Gell-Mann in Proc. Internat. Conf. High-energy Physics 805/2 Starting with the resonance at 1238 MeV, we may conjecture that the Y1*, at 1385 MeV and the Ξ* at 1535 MeV might belong to this supermultiplet... If J = 3/2+ is really right for these two cases, then our speculation might have some value and we should look for the last particle, called, say, Ω− with S = −3, I = 0. 1964 Physical Rev. Lett. 12 204/1 The multitude of resonances which have been discovered recently..can be arranged as a decuplet with one member still missing... This particle (which we shall call Ω−, following Gell-Mann) is predicted to be a negatively charged isotopic singlet with strangeness minus three. 1964 Listener 30 Apr. 711/1 The new theory [of unitary symmetry] has made one striking prediction which was subsequently found to be correct: the observation of the negatively charged Omega particle. 1972 Daily Colonist (Victoria, Brit. Columbia) 24 Feb. 5/2 The physicists hope to make the first observation of ‘quarks’..by studying the activity of a rare and elusive sub-atomic particle called the omega-minus. 1974 H. Frauenfelder & E. M. Henley Subatomic Physics i. 6 The negative kaon..collides with a proton and produces a positive kaon, a neutral kaon, and an omega minus. The Ω− decays into a Ξ0 and a π−. 1993 N.Y. Rev. Bks. 21 Oct. 78/3 The Higgs is not to be just another of the long list of successfully predicted particles, like the positron, omega-minus, neutrino, anti-proton, or tau-particle. < as lemmas |
