Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 14CQ
The quark ?avor change 
it takes place in 
decay. Does this mean that the reverse quark ?avor change 
takes place in 
decay? Justify your response by writing the decay in terms of the quark constituents, noting that it looks as if a proton is converted into a neutron in 
decay.

Write down a reaction that would provide a clean method of measuring the struc-
ture of the neutron. Explain your answer.
Sketch on separate graphs the d and d quark distributions of the neutron as a
function of x, the fraction of the neutron's momentum carried by the struck quark.
Include in each graph a comparison with the d and d quark distributions of the
proton.
Is it possible that some parts of the universe contain antimatter whose atoms have nuclei made of antiprotons and antineutrons, surrounded by positrons? How could we detect this condition without actually going there? Can we detect these antiatoms by identifying the light they emit as composed of antiphotons? Explain. What problems might arise if we actually did go there?
