The decay products from the decay of short-lived unstable particles can provide evidence that these particles have been produced in a collision experiment. As an initial step in designing an experiment to detect short-lived hadrons, you make a literature study of their decays. Table gives experimental data for the mass and typical decay modes of the particles Σ-, Ξ0 , ∆++, and Ω-. (a) Which of these four particles has the largest mass? The smallest? (b) By the decay modes shown in the table, for which of these particles do the decay products have the greatest total kinetic energy? The least?

Consider a collider in which protons, rest mass 938.3 MeV/c², that are moving in the +x direction with a kinetic energy of 10 GeV are made to collide with antiprotons of an equal energy that are moving in the x direction. ii) What is the speed of the protons as measured in the laboratory? iii) What is the highest mass particle that could be created in a collision of a proton and antiproton? Now consider a fixed target experiment in which a beam of antiprotons is made incident upon a stationary proton target. iv) Use the Lorentz velocity transformation to determine the antiproton speed required. for the fixed target experiment to have the same particle creation capability as the collider. v) Convert this speed to a kinetic energy and comment on the result in the context of the use of colliders or fixed target devices for high energy physics.

Say we have a Higgs boson production mµ = 125[GeV]/c² by colliding two protons m₂ = mp 938 [MeV]/c². Compute the threshold energy to produce Higgs Boson given that two beams of protons had a head-on collision at the center of mass frame. Assume the conservation of energy and linear momentum.
