10.101 Draw the lowest order Feynman diagram for the following processes:
(a) e−−e−elastic scattering (Moller scattering)
(b) e+e−→e+e−(Bhabha scattering)

10.102 Draw the lowest order Feynman diagram at the quark level for the following
decays

10.103 Draw the Feynman diagrams at the quark level for the reactions:
(a)π−+p→K^0 +Λ
(b) e++e−→B^0 +B^0 , whereBis a meson containing a b-quark.
10.104 Draw the lowest order Feynman diagram for the decayK−→μ−+νμ+γ
and hence deduce the form of the overall effective coupling.
10.105 Explain with the aid of Feynman diagrams, why the decayD^0 →K−+π+
can occur as a charged-current weak interaction at lowest order, but the
decayD+→K^0 +π+cannot.

neutral pion? Draw Feynman diagram to illustrate your answer.
