A L0 particle at rest decays into a proton and a p2 meson.

Chapter 46, Problem 19

(choose chapter or problem)

A L0 particle at rest decays into a proton and a p2 meson. (a) Use the data in Table 46.2 to find the Q value for this decay in MeV. (b) What is the total kinetic energy shared by the proton and the p2 meson after the decay? (c) What is the total momentum shared by the proton and the p2 meson? (d) The proton and the p2 meson have momenta with the same magnitude after the decay. Do they have equal kinetic energies? Explain.
