Chapter 30, Problem 79(choose chapter or problem)
If the mass of the proton were just a little closer to the mass of the neutron, the following reaction would be possible even at low collision energies:
\(\mathrm{e}^{-}+\mathrm{p} \rightarrow \mathrm{n}+\nu\)
(a) Why would this situation be catastrophic? (See last paragraph of Chapter 33.) (b) By what percentage would the proton's mass have to be increased to make this reaction possible?
