Open QuestionA K^+ meson at rest decays into two p mesons. (a) What are the allowed combinations of π^0 , π^+, and π^- as decay products?
Open QuestionHow much energy is released when a µ^- muon at rest decays into an electron and two neutrinos? Neglect the small masses of the neutrinos.
Open QuestionTable 44.3 shows that a Σ^0 decays into a Λ^0 and a photon. (a) Calculate the energy of the photon emitted in this decay, if the Λ^0 is at rest.
Open QuestionTable 44.3 shows that a Σ^0 decays into a Λ^0 and a photon. (b) What is the magnitude of the momentum of the photon? Is it reasonable to ignore the final momentum and kinetic energy of the Λ^0? Explain.
