Explain how conservation of baryon number is responsible for conservation of total atomic mass (total number of nucleons) in nuclear decay and reactions.
One decay mode for the eta-zero meson is \({{\rm{\eta }}^{\rm{0}}} \to {{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{0}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{0}}}\).
(a) Write the decay in terms of the quark constituents.
(b) How much energy is released?
(c) What is the ultimate release of energy, given the decay mode for the pi zero is\({{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{0}}} \to {\rm{\gamma + \gamma }}\)?
Synchrotron radiation takes energy from an accelerator beam and is related to acceleration. Why would you expect the problem to be more severe for electron accelerators than proton accelerators?
Gluons and the photon are massless. Does this imply that the W+. W- and Z0 are the ultimate carriers of the weak force?
What length track does a \[{{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{ + }}}\]traveling at 0.100c leave in a bubble chamber if it is created there and lives for \[{\rm{2}}{\rm{.60 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 8}}}}{\rm{\;s}}\]? (Those moving faster or living longer may escape the detector before decaying.)
