I attach a solution to a problem. I don't understand the highlighted bit:
I mean, firstly why can we assume that qc (where q is the momentum transfer) is of the order of the hyperons rest mass energy?
And secondly, why is the rest mass energy of the W boson MORE than the rest mass energy of the hyperon. Erm, does this not violate energy conservation? (doesn't the hyperon 'decay' to a W- boson AND a proton?)
Thanks:)
