<strong>Symmetries</strong><br />

Isosp<strong>in</strong> and G-parity<br />

Pions and isosp<strong>in</strong>: G-parity<br />

Altogether: The pion (isosp<strong>in</strong>=1) multiplet reads<br />

The unexpected m<strong>in</strong>us-sign <strong>in</strong> the neutral pion<br />

(compare with sp<strong>in</strong>) is due to the G-parity act<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on the quarks and anti-quarks (the former have<br />

positive, the latter negative G-parity).
