If all of the quarks combining to form a meson are in the ground state, what are the possible spins a
meson might have? Give an example particle (and describe its constituents) for each of your answers.
Consider the case where an electron and a positron annihilate each other and produce photons. Assume
that these two particles collide head-on with equal, but slow, speeds. Is it possible that only one photon is
produced? If yes, how? If not, is it possible that only two photons are produced? If yes, how? Is it possible

The Glashow resonance phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,000 times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth. 1. What is the threshold antineutrino energy for the Glashow resonance in peta electronvolts (PeV)? 2. What is this threshold energy in units of joules? 3.Now consider a baseball with the same kinetic energy as that of the Glashow resonance.

Thank you. Stanford has a linear particle accelerator (SLAC) which is 3 km long that produces electrons with a total energy of 50 GeV. These electrons lead exciting (albeit brief) lives, zooming along the accelerator before slamming into a target to produce other high-energy particles. a. Consider the viewpoint of one of the electrons. From the electron’s point of view, how long is the accelerator? Note that it is possible to answer this question without calculating the electron’s velocity. b. Let’s figure out how fast the electrons are traveling. Start by solving for β = u/c in terms of 1/γ following the trick we used in class. Use the binomial expansion if that is helpful. At what speed does a 50 GeV electron travel? c. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN presently accelerates protons to a total energy of 6.5 TeV. Imagine a pulse of light, a 50 GeV electron, and a 6.5 TeV proton race each other along a 3 km distance. The light pulse will surely win…arrow_forwardYou have entered a graduate program in particle physics and are learning about the use of symmetry. You begin by repeating the analysis that led to the prediction of the Ω- particle. Nine of the spin- 3/2 baryons are four ∆ particles, each with mass 1232 MeV/c2 , strangeness 0, and charges +2e, +e, 0, and -e; three Σ* particles, each with mass 1385 Me/c2 , strangeness -1, and charges +e, 0, and -e; and two Ξ* particles, each with mass 1530 MeV/c2 , strangeness -2, and charges 0 and -e. (a) Place these particles on a plot of S versus Q. Deduce the Q and S values of the tenth spin- 3/2 baryon, the Ω- particle, and place it on your diagram. Also label the particles with their masses. The mass of the Ω- is 1672 MeV/c2 ; is this value consistent with your diagram? (b) Deduce the three-quark combinations (of u, d, and s) that make up each of these ten particles. Redraw the plot of S versus Q from part (a) with each particle labeled by its quark content. What regularities do you see?arrow_forward
- For this problem, you may use your notes and the tables provided only. a. For the given quark combination (s,s,d) determine the baryon number, the strangeness, and the electric charge quantum number, Q’. Recall, a particle’s charge q is related to its electric charge quantum number Q’ by q = eQ’. You may use the tables provided only. b. Using the tables provided, identify the hadron that corresponds to the above data. Estimate the expected mass of the hadron. c. Determine the hypercharge, the z-component of the isospin, and the isospin for the hadron given in your answer to part b) above d. If the normal decay mode of this particle is the one given below, identify which one of the four fundamental interactions is most likely responsible for the equation listed below. Justify your answer.arrow_forwardIdentify the false statement: O Gravity is the weakest of all the interactions, but it has a very long range. The interactions between subatomic particles are mediated by the exchange of particles called "gauge bosons". O The strong interaction is mediated by the exchange of "gluons". Since the gluons have such a small mass, they can move very fast, and this is why the strong force has such a long range. O There are four fundamental interactions: gravity, the weak interaction, the electromagnetic and the strong interaction.arrow_forwardFor this problem, you may use your notes and the tables provided only for parts a, b, and c. a) For the given quark combination ( d , s̅ ) determine the baryon number, the strangeness, and the electric charge quantum number, Q’. Recall, a particle’s charge q is related to its electric charge quantum number Q’ by q = eQ’.
