The decay products from the decay of shortlived unstable

Chapter 44, Problem 44.54

(choose chapter or problem)

The decay products from the decay of shortlived 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 44.3 gives experimental data for the mass and typical decay modes of the particles -, 0 , ++, and -. (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?
