Most of the particles known to physicists are unstable. For example, the lifetime of the neutral pion,π0, is about 8.4x10-17 s. Its mass is 135.0 MeV/c2. a) What is the energy width of the π0 in its ground state? b) What is the relative uncertainty ∆m/m of the pion’s mass?
Mu mesons are subatomic particles which are created when cosmic rays strike the top of the
atmosphere. The travel downward at 99.5% of the speed of light. Mu meson counters were placed
at the top and bottom of Mt. Washington, which is 6265 feet (1909.6 m) tall. Mu mesons are
unstable particles with a half-life of 1.53 x 106 s.

An early theory of nuclear physics proposed that the particle that “mediates” the strong force (similar to the photon mediating the electromagnetic force) is the pion. Assume that the pion moves at the speed of light in the nucleus, and calculate the time ∆t it takes to travel between nucleons. Assume that the distance between nucleons is also about 1.2 x 10-15 m. Use this time ∆t to calculate the energy ∆E for which energy conservation is violated during the time ∆t. This ∆E has been used to estimate the mass of the pion. What value do you determine for the mass? Compare this value with the measured value of 135 MeV/c2 for the neutral pion.arrow_forward
