Question

Problem 1 The beamdum p of a certain high-energy proton accelerator experiment produces relativistic neutrons traveling at a speed of 0.99 c. Free neutrons decay by -decay into a proton, an e-, and a , with and e "s? Problem 2: of object does the observer see? What are the major parameters of that object (geometrical an average lifetime, , of 886 s. If those neutrons did not interact with matter on the way, how far would they travel (on average) before you would observe the production of protons A spherical object of radius R moves by a stationary observer with a speed of 0.92 c. What kind parameters, such as length, width, axes)?

Explanation / Answer

Distance travelled by the neutrons

          d = v t = ( 0.99 ) ( 3x108 m/s) ( 886 s) = 2.63x1011 m
