Modern Physics for Engineers

Problem Set 9

Problem Set - Due in class, Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1999.

    Problems:
  1. SM&M 15-13
  2. SM&M 15-16
  3. SM&M 15-20
  4. SM&M 15-25
    Plus, what is the momentum of the pion in the lab if the initial momentum of the Lambda^0 in the lab is 15 GeV/c and the pion and proton appear in the lab on trajectories colinear with the parent particle?
  5. SM&M 15-27
    Plus how far will the kaon travel if it has a momentum of 20 GeV/c? (Remember time dihilation for both of these parts!)
