Consider the two decays
1) delta-nought -> p + pi-minus 2) delta-nought -> n + pi-zero
Using Clebsch-Gordan co-efficients, predict the relative rates of decay of the two particles.
Hint: Here are the particle's total and projection strong isospin vectors.
Particle, (I, Iz)
delta-nought, (3/2,-1/2) p, (1/2,1/2) pi-minus, (1,-1) n, (1/2, -1/2) pi-zero, (1,0)

(Yes, that was an exam question I was asked a few hours ago) :)
