- A pion at rest (m = 273me) decays to a muon (m = 207me) and an antineutrino (mp 0). The reaction is written + v. Find (a) the kinetic energy of the muon and (b) the energy of the antineutrino in electron volts.arrow_forwardThe average lifetime of a pi meson in its own frame of reference is 2.6 × 10−8 s. If the meson moves with a speed of 0.95c, what is (a) its mean lifetime as measured by an observer on Earth and (b) the average distance it travels before decaying, as measured by an observer on Earth?arrow_forwardDetermine whether or not strangeness is conserved in the following decays and reactions. (a) ^0 → p + π− (b) π− + p → ^0 + K0 (c) P- + p → 0 (d) π− + p → π− + Σ+ (e) Ξ− → ^0π−0 → p + π−arrow_forward
