- The K0 meson is an uncharged member of the particle “zoo” that decays into two charged pions according to K0 → π+ + π−. The pions have opposite charges, as indicated, and the same mass, mπ = 140 MeV/c2. Suppose that a K0 at rest decays into two pions in a bubble chamber in which a magnetic field of 2.0 T is present (see Fig. P2.22). If the radius of curvature of the pions is 34.4 cm, find (a) the momenta and speeds of the pions and (b) the mass of the K0 meson.arrow_forwardThe primary decay mode for the negative pion is +v . (a) What is the energy release in MeV in this decay? (b) Using conservation of momentum, how much energy does each of the decay products receive, given the is at rest when it decays? You may assume the muon antineutrino is massless and has momentum p = E/c , just like a photon.arrow_forward(a) Is the decay possible considering the appropriate conservation laws? State why or why not. (b) Write the decay in terms of the quark constituents of the particles.arrow_forward
- Suppose a W created in a bubble chamber lives for What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900 c? Since this distance is too short to make a track, the presence of the W must be inferred from its decay products. Note that the time is longer than the given W lifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.arrow_forwardAssuming conservation of momentum, what is the energy of each ray produced in the decay of a neutral pion at rest, in the reaction 0+?arrow_forward(c) Pions are also produced in the upper atmosphere. [In fact, the sequence is proton (from outer space) hits proton (in atmosphere) -> p +p+pions. + The pions then decay into muons: ñ→µ¯¯ +vµ; π†→µ* +vµ.] But the lifetime of the pion is much shorter, a hundredth that of the muon. Should the pions reach ground level? (Assume that the pions also have a speed of 0.998 c.)arrow_forward
- The intensity of cosmic ray radiation decreases rapidly with increasing energy, but there are occasionally extremely energetic cosmic rays that create a shower of radiation from all the particles they create by striking a nucleus in the atmosphere as seen in the figure given below. Suppose a cosmic ray particle having an energy of 1010 GeV converts its energy into particles with masses averaging 200 MeV/c2 . (a) How many particles are created? (b) If the particles rain down on a 1.00-km2 area, how many particles are there per square meter?arrow_forwardA neutral rho particle decays from rest into two pions through the following decay reaction: The masses of the particles are: p° = 775 MeV/c?, Tt = 140 MeV/c², 7¯ = 140 MeV/c?, What is the kinetic energy of the n+ immediately after the decay?

(a) What is the minimum kinetic energy of the antiproton if the available energy is 2.00 TeV?
