6. An isolated neutron will undergo a process called beta decay. In this process, a neutron turns into a proton, an electron, and another particle called an antineutrino. In the 1900s, neutrinos were only inferred to exist since beta decays seemed to violate energy-momentum conservation otherwise To see how this works, let's assume we don't know about neutrinos. Let's imagine that a stationary, isolated neutron spontaneously turns into a stationary proton and electron and nothing else. You may use me...

3) In 1948, scientists at Oak Ridge Tennessee, observed that if a neutron is outside of an atom for about 15 minutes, it will decay into a proton and an electron. The mass of a neutron is mn = 939.5656 MeV, the mass of the proton is my = 938.2723 MeV, and the mass of the electron is me = .5110 MeV. A) Assume the neutron is at rest before it decays. How much momentum does the electron or proton...

One way to look for oil deposits under ground is to lower a source of neutrons and detect how many are reflected back by the surroundings as the neutron source is lowered (not many neutrons reflected implies oil in the surroundings that are absorbing the neutrons.) The decay that produces the neutron is 13Be 12Be + n. The respective atomic masses are 13Be: 13.036135; 12Be: 12.0269221. The rest mass of the neutron and the conversion from atomic mass unit...
