Chapter 12: Fundamental Particles and Interactions

Q10E

Page 555

From the masses of the weak bosons given in Table 12.1, show that range is of weak part of electroweak force should be about 103鈥塮尘.

Q11E

Page 555

Someone proposes the existence of a new force whose range is10-20 m. We found in Chapter 2 that accelerator turn kinetic energy into mass. About how much energy do you estimate an accelerator would need to create the mediating particle for such a force.

Q12E

As in electron-positron annihilation, when a proton and antiproton annihilate. Twophoton can be produced. Ofwhat wavelength are of these photons?

Q13E

Page 555

To show that the Klein-Gordon equation has valid solutions for negative values of E, verify that equation (12-4) is satisfied by a wave function of the form .(x,t)=Aeipx/iEt/

Q14E

Page 556

To show,

(a) 1(x,t)=Aeikxitis the solution of both Klein-Gordon and the Schrodinger equations.

(b) 2(x,t)=Aeikxcostis the solution of both Klein-Gordon but not the Schrodinger equations.

(c) The2 is a combination of positive and negative energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation.

(d) To compare the time dependence of2 for 1and 2.

Q15E

Page 556

For solutions of Klein-Gordon equation, the quantity,

ititis interpreted as charge density. Show that for a positive-energy plane-wavesolution. It is a real constant, and for negative-energy solution.It is a negative of that constant.

Q16E

Page 556

In non-relavistic quantum mechanics, governed by the Schrodinger equation, the probability of finding a particle does not change with time.

(a)

Prove it, Begin with the time derivative of the total probability

ddt*(x,t)'(x,t)dx=((x,t)t*(x,t)+*(x,t)t(x,t))dx

Then use the Schrodinger equation to eliminate the partial time derivatives, integrate by parts, and show that the result is zero. Assume that the particle is well localised, so that 鈥塧苍诲鈥xare 0 when evaluated at .

(b) Does this procedure lead to the same conclusion if Wave function obeyKlein-Gordon rather than Shrodinger equation? Why and why not?

Q17E

The electron mentioned in Section 12.3 for deep inelastic scattering experiments is20GeV , and the momentum is given as .20鈥塆别痴/c Why so simple a conversion?

Q18E

Page 556

Approximately what energy would electrons need to have to be useful as probes that could reveal features as small as 10-18m,the approximate range of the weak force?

Q19E

Page 556

Suppose a force between two particles decreases distance according to F=k/rb. What is the limit on b if the energy required to separate the particlesInfinitely far is not to be infinite?
