(a) A panicle and its antiparticle are at rest relative to an observer and annihilate (completely destroying both masses), creating two y rays of equal energy. What is the characteristic y -ray energy you would look for if searching for evidence of proton-antiproton annihilation? (The fact that such radiation is rarely observed is evidence that there is very little antimatter in the universe.) (b) How does this compare with the 0.511-MeV energy associated with electron-positron annihilation?
The peak intensity of the CMBR occurs at a wavelength of 1.1 mm. (a) What is the energy in eV at a 1.1mm photon? (b) There are approximately 109 photons for each massive particle in deep space. Calculate the energy of 109 such photons. (c) If the average massive particle in space has a mass half that of a proton, what energy would be created by convening its mass to enemy? (d) Does this imply that space is “matter dominated”? Explain briefly.
(a) Calculate the approximate age of the universe from the average value of the Hubble constant, H0=20km/s . Mly.

(b) If somehow acceleration occurs, would the actual age of the universe be greater or less than that found here? Explain.
Massless particles must travel at the speed of light, while others cannot reach this speed. Why are all massless particles stable? If evidence is found that neutrinos spontaneously decay into other particles, would this imply they have mass?

The total energy in the beam of an accelerator is far greater than the energy of the individual beam particles. Why isn't this total energy available to create a single extremely massive particle?
Suppose you are designing a proton decay experiment and you can detect 50 percent of the proton decays in a tank of water.

(c) If the actual lifetime is 1033 y, how long would you have to wait on an average to see a single proton decay?
At full energy, protons in the 2.00kmdiameter Fermilab synchrotron travel at nearly the speed of light, since their energy is about 1000 times their rest mass energy.
