A proton can not decay into a neutron and a neutrino. Which of the following conservation laws would be violated if it did:(a) energy, (b) angular momentum, (c) charge, (d) lepton number, (e) linear momentum, (f) baryon number?
Does the proposed decay conserve (a) electric charge, (b) spin angular momentum, and (c) strangeness? (d) If theoriginal particle is stationary, is there enough energy to create thedecay products?
A particle has these quantum numbers: strangeness, charge localid="1663129613215" , and spin . Which of the following quark combinations produces it: (a)localid="1663129790732" , (b) localid="1663129802044" , (c) localid="1663129809885" , (d), localid="1663129816290" , or(e) localid="1663129823320" ?
The rest energy of many short-lived particles cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from the measured momenta and known rest energies of the decay products. Consider the meson, which decays by the reaction. Calculate the rest energy of the meson given that the oppositely directed momenta of the created pions each have a magnitude 358.3 MeV. See Table 44-4 for the rest energies of the pions.
A neutral pion initially at rest decays into two gamma rays:
. Calculate the wavelength of the gamma rays. Why must they have the same wavelength?
