From the experimental evidence that the force between nucleons has a range of about 1 fm. Obtaina rough value (in MeV/c2) for the mass of the particle exchanged to convey this force, the pion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of the mediation particle is197鈥塎别痴/肠2 .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The force between nucleons has a range of about 1鈥塮尘.

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/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 and x as:

03

Calculation of the mass of the mediation particle

The range of particles is1鈥塮尘.

Convert units of distance from to :

x=(1鈥塮尘)(1鈥尘1015鈥尘)x=11015鈥尘

Substitute1.0551034鈥塉s for ,11035m for xand 3108鈥尘/s for c in equation:.

mxc

m1.0551034鈥塉s(11015鈥尘)(3108鈥尘/s)m3.511028kg

Convert units of mass from kg toMeV/c2 .

m(3.511028鈥塳驳)(1u1.671027kg)m(0.211u)(931.5鈥塎别痴/c21鈥塽)m196.54鈥塎别痴/肠2m197鈥塎别痴/肠2

Therefore, the mass of the mediation particle (pion) is197鈥塎别痴/肠2

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?

Does the requirement of color neutrality for a real particle prohibit the existence of hadrons containing 4 quarks? 5 quarks?Any number? If so, why? If not, what rules would apply?

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.

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.

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.
