How do pions decay into muons?
Negatively charged pions decay into muons and muon anti-neutrinos via the weak nuclear interaction. The probability of such a decay occurring is approximately 99.98%. Muons can also decay into electrons and electron anti-neutrinos, but the ... Read More »

Which particle does the Pion minus decay into and why?
Two electrons, a neutron and a positron. The positron and electron anihilate transferring their energy to the departing electron. Source(s): http://hypergeometricaluniverse.blogspot… Read More »

The total energy is: E = m*c^2 = (135 MeV/c^2)*c^2 = 135 MeV So, the energy of one pion is: E/2 = 135 MeV/2 = 67.5 MeV

"Charge conjugation" invariance is different than charge conservation. There is a quantum operator C which converts a particle into its antiparticle. Particles like the photon and pizero are their own antiparticles. They are eigenstates of ...

Actually some of the pions do decay directly into electron and anti-neutrino (or positron and neutrino). But the branching ratio for this process is very small- only about 1%. To explain this, please read:http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.ed...
