15. For purposes of deducing the properties of the antineutron, one may cancel a proton from each side of

the reaction and write the equivalent reaction as

π

+

p + n .

Particle properties can be found in Tables 45-3 and 45-4. The pion and proton each have charge +e,
so the antineutron must be neutral. The pion has baryon number zero (it is a meson) and the proton
has baryon number +1, so the baryon number of the antineutron must be

1. The pion and the proton

each have strangeness zero, so the strangeness of the antineutron must also be zero. In summary, q = 0,
B =

1, and S = 0 for the antineutron.
