Question

1. Using the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, show that in the decay of a pion at
rest, to a muon and a neutrino, л->μ+v., the decay products come out back-to-back. What is the
total energy of the muon? What is the total energy of the neutrino? At what fraction of the speed
of light does the muon move? (Mass of the muon is 105 MeV/c^2. Mass of the pion is 139 MeV/c^2.)
