The degeneracy pressure of the electrons can stabilize the collapse of a star due to gravity by equating the gravitational inward pressure with the outward electron gas degeneracy pressure. These cold stars called white dwarfs have small radii compared to their original size and this radius decreases as the original mass of the star increases. As the mass of a star increases, the electron energy increases to a point in which their energy has to be treated relativistically.
(a) Evaluate the degeneracy pressure for ultra-relativistic electrons (problem 2, above).
(b) As the pressure increases, the reaction e − + p → n + ν takes place. The neutrinos (ν) escape as matter is transparent to them, electrons and protons convert to neutrons until we are left with a neutron star. Using your expression for the degeneracy pressure obtained in (a) above, equate the gravitational pressureto the neutron degeneracy pressure (replace the electron’s mass in your degeneracy pressure expression from (a)…

- Consider an ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray entering the Earth’s atmosphere (some have energies approaching a joule).Construct a problem in which you calculate the energy of the particle based on the number of particles in an observed cosmic ray shower. Among the things to consider are the average mass of the shower particles, the average number per square meter, and the extent (number of square meters covered) of the shower. Express the energy in eV and joules.arrow_forwardThe range of the nuclear strong force is believed to be about 1.2 x 10-15 m. An early theory of nuclear physics proposed that the particle that “mediates” the strong force (similar to the photon mediating the electromagnetic force) is the pion. Assume that the pion moves at the speed of light in the nucleus, and calculate the time ∆t it takes to travel between nucleons. Assume that the distance between nucleons is also about 1.2 x 10-15 m. Use this time ∆t to calculate the energy ∆E for which energy conservation is violated during the time ∆t. This ∆E has been used to estimate the mass of the pion. What value do you determine for the mass? Compare this value with the measured value of 135 MeV/c2 for the neutral pion.arrow_forwardPlease answerarrow_forward

- An accelerator collides protons with an energy of 920 GeV with electrons with an energy of 27.5 GeV. The direction of the proton movement is called forwards and the direction of the electron backwards. a) A collaboration of scientists suggests an experiment with a multi-purpose detector around the interaction point. This is their proposal: The center-of-mass energy of E(cms) = 280 GeV allows for a wide range of physics. The experiment will be built asymmetrically around the interaction point with more instrumenta- tion in the backwards direction, where most of the particles will be created. The innermost layer will consist of a semiconductor tracking detector, followed by a muon detector in radial direction. The next layer will be a calorimeter consisting of alternate layers of aluminium and scintillating fibres. The outermost layer will consist of a tracking detector. A supercon- ducting magnet will create a homogenuos field to bend the charged particles' trajectories.
