Problem 47PE
Integrated Concepts
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 , just like a photon.
