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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The range is indeed of order103鈥塮尘 .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The force is electroweak.

02

Concept of the Uncertainty principle

From the Uncertainty principle:

Et

An event in which an amount of energy E is not conserved is not prohibited as long as the duration of the event does not exceed h/E.

Let鈥檚 assume that a meson particle travels between nucleons at a speed ofxc

the temporary energy discrepancy of Emc2 and that is:

Et 鈥︹ (1)

And the time needed for the particle to travel is t=x/c.

Equation (1) becomes:

(mc2)(xc)

Rearrange the above equation for mass mand x as:

xmcmxc

03

Explanation to show electroweak force is  10−3 fm

The mass of the mediation particle of the weak force is about 90103MeVc2.

Convert units of mass from MeV/c2 into .

m=(90103鈥塎别痴/c2)(1u931.5鈥塎别痴/c2)m=(96.6183u)(1.671027鈥塳驳u)m=1.6131025kg

Substitute 1.0551034Js for,1.6131025鈥塳驳 form , and 3108鈥尘/蝉for cin equation,

rangehmc

range1.0551034鈥塉s(1.613103鈥塳驳)(3108鈥尘/蝉)range2.1971018鈥尘

Convert units of range from m to as:

range(2.1971018鈥尘)(1鈥塮尘1013鈥尘)range2.197103鈥塮尘

Thus, the range is indeed of order 103鈥塮尘.

If a neutrino interacted with a quark every time their separation was within the 1018鈥尘 range generally accepted for the weak force, then the cross-section of a neutron or proton 鈥渟een鈥 by a neutrino would be on the order of 1036鈥尘2. Even at such separation, however the probability of interactions is quite small. The nucleon appears to have an effective cross-section of only about 1048鈥尘2.

(a) About how many nucleons are there in a column through the earth鈥檚 center of 1 m2 cross-sectional area?

(b) what is the probability that a given neutrino passing through space and encountering earth will actually 鈥渉it鈥?

In the following exercises, two protons are smashed together in an attempt to convert kinetic energy into mass and new particles. Indicate whether the proposed reaction is possible. If not, indicate which rules are violated. Consider only those for charge, angular momentum, and baryon number If the reaction is possible, calculate the minimum kinetic energy required of the colliding protons.
