Chapter 12: Q30E (page 557)

Sketch Feynman vertex for the creation of a ←d quark and c quark.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Feynman diagram is shown in the figure as:

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The ←d has charge +1/3, and c has charge +2/3 .

02

Concept of Feynman diagram 

A Feynman diagram describes the interactions in quantum field theory. Solid lines, and curved lines are used to represent different types of particle interactions.

03

Step 3:Sketch Feynman vertex 

The Feynman diagram is shown in figure 1.

Figure 1

Because the type of quark changed, it is a weak interaction.

Because←dhas charge+1/3, and c has charge +2/3, they will exchange aW+ boson.

Verify that if the universe were critical (ΩM=1). "flat”(K''=0), and free of a cosmological constant(ΩΛ=0), then equation dR/dtR2=1R3would be satisfied by a scale factorR(t) of[32t−13]23.

From the experimental evidence that the force between nucleons has a range of about 1 fm. Obtaina rough value (in MeV/c2) for the mass of the particle exchanged to convey this force, the pion.

In the following exercises, two protons are smashed together in an attempt to convert kinetic energy into mass and new particles. Indicate whether the proposed reaction is possible. If not, indicate which rules are violated. Consider only those for charge, angular momentum, and baryon number If the reaction is possible, calculate the minimum kinetic energy required of the colliding protons.
