Suppose the proton half-life were 1.0 x 1018 y. (a) Calculate the energy deposited per kilogram of body tissue (in rad) due to the decay of the protons in your body in one year. Model your body as consisting entirely of water. Only the two protons in the hydrogen atoms in each H2O molecule would decay in the manner shown; do you see why? Assume that the π0 decays to two g rays, that the positron annihilates with an electron, and that all the energy produced in the primary decay and these secondary decays remains in your body. (b) Calculate the equivalent dose (in rem) assuming an RBE of 1.0 for all the radiation products, and compare with the 0.1 rem due to the natural background and the 5.0 rem guideline for industrial workers.
