The lambda is a baryon which is made up of three quarks: an up, a down and a strange quark. The shorter lifetime of 10-23 seconds was expected because the lambda as a baryon participates in the strong interaction, and that usually leads to such very short lifetimes.
The 2017 fire season in Montana has been devastating for many people and communities, and as of Sept. 6, more than one million acres of land has burned.

((B.C. Forest Service)) Canada's forest fire season usually starts as early as April, with grass fires that scorch the landscape. Then the season moves into high gear with the first round of forest fires in May and June, with more to come in the dry summer months. By the time it's all over in September, an average of 25,000 square kilometres â an area the size of Lake Erie â will have burned in roughly 10,000 fires across the country.
