The K0 meson is an uncharged member of the particle “zoo” that decays into two charged pions according to K0 → π+ + π−. The pions have opposite charges, as indicated, and the same mass, mπ = 140 MeV/c2. Suppose that a K0 at rest decays into two pions in a bubble chamber in which a magnetic field of 2.0 T is present (see Fig. P2.22). If the radius of curvature of the pions is 34.4 cm, find (a) the momenta and speeds of the pions and (b) the mass of the K0 meson.
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 kineticenergy.)
The primary decay mode for the negative pion is π− → μ− + ν-μ . (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 π− is at rest when it decays? You may assume the muon antineutrino is massless and has momentum p = E / c , justlike a photon.
A virtual particle having an approximate mass of 1014 GeV/c2 may be associated with the unification of the strong and electroweak forces. For what length of time could this virtual particle exist (in temporary violation of theconservation of mass-energy as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle)?
Two protons are racing directly toward each other at the same speed. They collide, and a stationary top quark is produced. What is the minimum gamma factor each of the two protons must have for this to be possible? The rest mass energy of Top quark should match the total energy of two protons so as to conserve energy. To calculate the rest mass energy of the Top quark, we use the following relation. ET0= mT0c^2 Putting in the values. ET0=3.08×10^−25×(3×108)2 ET0= 27.7×10-9J Where did the 3.08 x 10^-25 come from
What is the rest energy (in joules) of a subatomic particle whose (rest) mass is 6.7×10−31 kg? How many MeV’s of energy is this?
