0 1 interaction between a negative kaon (K−) and a proton (p) produces
A strong
an omega-minus (Ω−) particle, a neutral kaon (K0) and an unidentified particle Y.
The interaction
is:
K− + p → Ω− + K0 + Y
Table 1 contains information on the particles in this interaction.

The quark structure of the Ω− particle is sss.
The Ω− is unstable. It decays into a proton through a series of decays:
Ω− → Ξ0 + π−
followed
by
Ξ0 → Λ0 + π0
followed
by
Λ0 → p + π−
The Ξ0 and Λ0 are both hadrons.
