Inquiry into Physics
- A proton and an antiproton collide headon, with each having a kinetic energy of 7.00 TeV (such as in the LHC at CERN). How much collision energy is available, taking into account the annihilation of the two masses? (Note that this is not significantly greater than the extremely relativistic kinetic energy.)arrow_forwardThe K0 meson is an uncharged member of the particle “zoo” that decays into two charged pions according to K0 → π+ + π−. The pions have opposite charges, as indicated, and the same mass, mπ = 140 MeV/c2. Suppose that a K0 at rest decays into two pions in a bubble chamber in which a magnetic field of 2.0 T is present (see Fig. P2.22). If the radius of curvature of the pions is 34.4 cm, find (a) the momenta and speeds of the pions and (b) the mass of the K0 meson.arrow_forward(a) Show than all combinations of three quarks produce integral changes. Thus baryons must have integral charge. (b) Show than all combinations at a quark and an antiquark produce only integral charges. Thus mesons must have integral change.arrow_forward
- (a) What particle has the quark composition u-u-d? (b) What should its decay made be?arrow_forwardThe quarks in a particle are con?ned, meaning individual quarks cannot be directly observed. Are gluons con?ned as well? Explainarrow_forwardExplain how conservation of baryon number is responsible for conservation of total atomic mass (total number at nucleons) in nuclear decay and reactions.arrow_forward
- The reaction (described in the preceding problem) takes place via the strong force. (a) What is the baryon number of the particle? (b) Draw a Feynman diagram of the reaction showing the individual quarks involved.arrow_forward(a) Is the decay possible considering the appropriate conservation laws? Stale why or why not. (b) Write the decay in terms of the quark constituents of the particles.arrow_forwardOne of the common decay modes of the is 0 is 0+p . Even though only hadrons are involved in this decay, it occurs through the weak nuclear force. How do we know that this decay does not occur through the strong nuclear force?arrow_forward
- (a) Three quarks form a baryon. How many combinations of the six known quarks are there if all combinations are possible? (b) This number is less than the number of known baryons. Explain why.arrow_forward(a) Find the charge, baryon number, strangeness, charm, and bottomness of the particle from its quark composition. (b) Do the same for the particle.arrow_forward(a) Is the decay possible considering the appropriate conservation laws? State why or why not. (b) Write the decay in terms of the quark constituents of the particles.arrow_forward
