Compared to the lifetimes of particles that decay via the weak interaction, the lifetimes of particles that decay via the strong interaction are:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Particles that decay via the strong interaction have much shorter lifetimes than those decaying via the weak interaction. The typical lifetime of a strong interaction decay is around 10^-23 seconds, while weak interaction decays are around 10^-10 seconds, making the latter about 10^12 times longer.
