What are the accepted numbers for the decay rate and lifetime of Z-> mu+mu- and Z-> e+e- decays? also what is the unit for the decay rate? thank you!
The decay rate of a Z boson is approximately 2.5 x 10^-25 seconds, which means that it can decay and transform into other particles in that amount of time.
The decay rate of a Z boson is typically measured using high-energy particle colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. By analyzing the data from particle collisions, scientists can determine the decay rate and lifetime of the Z boson.
The decay rate of a Z boson can be affected by several factors, including the Z boson's energy, the mass of the particles it decays into, and the quantum state of the particles involved.
The lifetime of a Z boson is approximately 3 x 10^-25 seconds. This is the average amount of time that a Z boson exists before decaying into other particles.
The decay rate of a Z boson is relatively slow compared to other particles. For example, the decay rate of a pion is about 2.6 x 10^-8 seconds, which is about a billion times faster than a Z boson.
