Inquiry into Physics
- Based on quark composition of a proton, show that its charge is +1.arrow_forwardA proton and an antiproton collide headon, 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.)arrow_forwardWhat is the general quark composition of a baryon? Of a meson?arrow_forward
- Based on the quark composition of a neutron, show that is charge is 0.arrow_forwardExplain how conservation of baryon number is responsible for conservation of total atomic mass (total number at nucleons) in nuclear decay and reactions.arrow_forwardThe quarks in a particle are con?ned, meaning individual quarks cannot be directly observed. Are gluons con?ned as well? Explainarrow_forward
- Integrated Concepts Assuming conservation of momentum, what is the energy of each (ray produced in the decay of a neutral at rest pion, in the reaction +?arrow_forwardArgue that the quark composition given in Table 11.5 for the positive kaon is consistent with the known charge, spin, and strangeness of this baryon.arrow_forwardAssuming conservation of momentum, what is the energy of each ray produced in the decay of a neutral pion at rest, in the reaction 0+?arrow_forward
- Suppose leptons are created in a reaction. Does this imply the weak force is acting? (for example, consider (decay.)arrow_forwardWhy do baryons with the same quark composition sometimes differ in their rest mass energies?arrow_forwardWhy can’t either set of quarks shown below form hadron?arrow_forward
