Question

The MEG experiment in Switzerland measured violation of conservation of one type of this property. It’s not CP symmetry, but in particle interactions, special triangles defined in the complex plane bound the change in this property. Mechanisms that alter this general property called FCNCs are suppressed in (15[1])the (15[1])Standard Model via the (15[1])GIM (15[1])mechanism. (15[1])This property is conserved in QCD but not by the weak force, and the PMNS matrix relates (*) neutrino mass eigenstates (-5[1])to (10[1])eigenstates of this quality. In beta decay, (-5[1])a proton becoming a neutron alters the baryon form of this attribute (10[1])called isospin. (-5[1])The change between the electron, muon, and tau forms of this property are observed in neutrino oscillations. (10[1])For 10 points, name this particle attribute that for quarks comes in six types and distinguishes top, down, and strange quarks. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: flavor [accept lepton flavor number, anti-prompt on strangeness or isospin before mention with “what more general property”; reject “lepton number” or any attribute mentioning “number” without “flavor”]
