56. Though the damped pion decay chain does not yield flavor equipartition on Earth, any deviation from (Equation presented) falls in the range of uncertainty.
57. Resonant (Equation presented) interactions produce twice as many neutral pions as charged pions. Direct pion production via virtual meson exchange contributes about 20% to the total cross section, almost exclusively producing (Equation presented). Hence, (Equation presented) interactions produce roughly equal numbers of (Equation presented) and (Equation presented).
