(a) Show that the proton-decay p S e1 1 g cannot occur

Chapter 46, Problem 18

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Show that the proton-decay p S e1 1 g cannot occur because it violates the conservation of baryon number. (b) What If? Imagine that this reaction does occur and the proton is initially at rest. Determine the energies and magnitudes of the momentum of the positron and photon after the reaction. (c) Determine the speed of the positron after the reaction.
