Question
How would you solve this:
In the search for the Higgs Boson, it was posited that the potnetial energy stored
between two higgs particles is given by a 1 dimensional function of the distance
between the two particles (x) as U(x) = c + ax2 − bx4 where a, b, c are constants.
a) Find a function for the force as a function of position.
b) what value of position (x) is the equilibrium position in terms of a and b.

(I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In the previous problem, in a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,739 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV.arrow_forward
