Suppose W- a created in a bubble chamber lives for 5.00 x 10-25 s. 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 W- the must be inferredfrom 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.

Nuclear interactions

In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:
