All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeConsider a detector needed to observe the proposed, but extremely rare, decay of an electron. Construct a problem in which you calculate the amount of matter needed in the detector to be able to observe the decay, assuming that it has a signature that is clearly identifiable. Among the things to consider are the estimated half-life (long for rare events), and the number of decays per unit time that you wish to observe, as well as the number of electrons in the detector substance.
When an electron and positron collide at the SLAC facility, they each have 50.0GeV kinetic energies. What is the total collision energy available, taking into account the annihilation energy? Note that the annihilation energy is insignificant, because the electrons are highly relativistic.
What are the advantages of colliding-beam accelerators? What are the disadvantages?
The primary decay mode for the negative pion
(a) What is the energy release in
(b) Using conservation of momentum, how much energy does each of the decay products receive, given the
(a) How much energy would be released if the proton did decay via the conjectured reaction
(b) Given that the
(c) Why is this energy greater than the protonโs total mass (converted to energy)?
