To determine

To find:

if the proposed decay of Λo into a proton and a K- conserve the three given conservation laws. And if there is enough energy for this decay when the Λo particle is stationary.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The primary decay mode for the negative pion is π− → μ− + ν-μ .                  (a) What is the energy release in MeV in this decay? (b) Using conservation of momentum, how much energy does each of the decay products receive, given the π− is at rest when it decays? You may assume the muon antineutrino is massless and has momentum p = E / c , justlike a photon.
Q5
Positive and negative pions, denoted p+ and p-, are anti-particles of each other. Each has a rest mass of 140 MeV/c2. Suppose a collision between an electron and positron, each with kinetic energy K, produces a p+, p- pair. What is the smallest possible value for K?
