28) The rest mass of a proton is 0.940 GeV/c2. The rest mass of the up quark (u) is 0.002 GeV/c2 and the down quark (d) is 0.005 GeV/c2. Three quarks combine to make a proton (uud). If this is written as particle reaction with quarks as the reactants and a proton as the product what is the mass ratio between reactants and products?

Suppose a Wcreated in a particle detector lives for 5.001025s . What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900c? (Note that the time is longer than the given Wlifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.)
When an electron and positron collide at the SLAC facility, they each have 50.0-GeV kinetic energies. What is the total collision energy available, taking into account the annihilation energy? Note that the annihilation energy is insignificant, because the electrons are highly relativistic.
The primary decay mode for the negative pion is +v . (a) What is the energy release in MeV in this decay? (b) Using conservation of momentum, how much energy does each of the decay products receive, given the is at rest when it decays? You may assume the muon antineutrino is massless and has momentum p = E/c , just like a photon.
A proton and an antiproton collide head-on, with each having a kinetic energy of 7.00 TeV (such as in the LHC at CERN). How much collision energy is available, taking into account the annihilation of the two masses? (Note that this is not significantly greater than the extremely relativistic kinetic energy.)
What is the rest energy of an electron, given its mass is 9.111031 kg? Give your answer in joules and MeV.

A proton in a high-energy accelerator moves with a speed of c/2. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to find the work required to increase its speed to (a) 0.750c and (b) 0.995c
Suppose a W created in a bubble chamber lives for What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900 c? Since this distance is too short to make a track, the presence of the W must be inferred from its decay products. Note that the time is longer than the given W lifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.
Suppose you are designing a proton decay experiment and you can detect 50 percent of the proton decays in a tank of water. (a) How many kilograms of water would you need to see one decay per month, assuming a lifetime of 1031 y? (b) How many cubic meters of water is this? (c) If the actual lifetime is 1033 y, how long would you have to wait on an average to see a single proton decay?
Which of the following decays cannot occur because die law of conservation of lepton number is violated? (a) np+e (e) e+ve (b) +e++ve(f) e+ve+v (c) +e++ve+v (g) 0+p (d) pn+e++ve (h) K+++v
