Two particles each have a rest mass energy of 30 MeV and are traveling with a total of 10 MeV of kinetic energy. When they collide, they fuse into a new particle with a rest mass energy of 50 MeV. How much kinetic energy does the final particle possess?
Problem 1. Consider a system of three identical particles. Each particle has 5 quantum states with energies 0, ε, 2E, 3E, 4E. For distinguishable particles, calculate the number of quantum states where (1) three particles are in the same single-particle state, (2) only two particles are in the same single-particle state, and (3) no two particles are in the same single-particle state. Problem 2. For fermions, (1) calculate the total number of quantum states, and (2) the number of states...

3. (10 pts) High energy particle accelerators convert part of the energy of colliding particles into the masses of particles produced in the collisions. Consider a collision of two protons that produces two charged kaons. The mass of the proton is mp- 938.3 MeV/c2, and the mass of each kaon is mK 493.7 MeV/c2. The reaction is a) The total energy (kinetic energy and rest energy) and total momentum is conserved. Suppose one of the protons is at rest in...
16 , Eo Problem 1 (8 pts): An experimentalist is examining a kind of non-interacting identical particles that could be either spinless bosons or spin-half fermions by putting a number of them inside a potential and measuring the energy levels of the system, but without being able to resolve the degeneracy of each level. Energy levels do not depend on the particles' spin. The following values of the energy are observed: No particles: 0 -5€ 1 particle: E, 2E, 5E...
In the figure a particle is to be released at rest at point A and then is to be accelerated directly through point B by an electric field. The potential difference between points A and B is 100 V. Which point should be at higher electric potential if the particle is (a) an electron, (b) a proton, and (c) an alpha particle (a nucleus of two protons and two neutrons, 4He)? (d) Compute the kinetic energies of these particles at...
-31 1 Electrons have a rest mass of 9.1095x103"kg(0.511 MeV/c2) and an energy of 0.511 MeV million electron volts) when at rest. In a colliding beam experiment, a beam of electrons accelerated to a high speed is sent toward a beam of antielectrons (same mass as electrons) moving in the opposite direction at the same speed. a.) Experimenters hope to create the J/y particle that has a rest mass energy of 3097 MeV through one of these collisions. The J/y...
Why do scientists need particle accelerators to discover new particles and to study the properties of known particles? charge greater than less Particle accelerators allow scientists to accelerate subatomic particles to very high speeds( the speed of light). At these speeds, collisions between the accelerated particles and particles in a stationary target have sufficient energy to produce new particles and/or known particles via energy conversion greater near For example, the mediators of the weak nuclear interaction have very large rest...
