For 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’. [Note: we are using the symbol Q’ so as to prevent confusion with the Q-value of a nuclear decay.]
b) Using the tables provided, identify the hadron that corresponds to the above data. Estimate the
2 expected mass of the hadron in units of MeV/c^2
c) Determine the hypercharge, the z-component of the isospin, and the isospin for the hadron given in your answer to part b) above.

- 13.2 In the standard model, a strange quark is described as having a mass of about 96 MeV/c2. Explain why this is a valid unit of measuring mass, and convert it to kilograms. Show your work, but a GRASS solution is not required.arrow_forwardThe weak force is mediated by the exchange of virtual particles called the W+, W, and Zº. Taking the rest energy of one of these particles to be approximately 80 GeV (correct for the W* and W, but the Zº is more like 90 GeV), calculate the approximate range of the weak force. Do not just use a formula from class, but show the work involved in deriving the formula.arrow_forwardPlease do D, E, and Farrow_forward

If we per- form an experiment to locate the quanton at that time, what is the probalitiy that the result will be greater than zero? Explain your reasoning. (Assume that y(x) = 0 everywhere out- side the region shown. The size of the vertical and horizontal scales in not relevant.) *(x)arrow_forward
