Right, I suppose my confusion was trying to find the muons proper time. Next time I need to first check if relativity factors will have any effect in the first place. Thanks again! - Andrew Balmos

Of course the obvious answer... Thank you very much for helping me out with this. For my own curiosity and interest in knowing I fully understand this topic, is it possible to come to this answer using the transformations? I suppose it must, but the real question is does this problem contain...

Homework Statement Particle Physicists use particle track detectors to determine the lifetime of short-lived particles. A muon has a mean lifetime of 2.2 microseconds and makes a track of 9.5 cm long before decaying into a electron and two neutrinos. What was the speed of the muon? Homework...

Brain-san: I missed a crucial detail in your post yesterday! When I shifted the index I forgot to minus the index shift off the n's in the series, when you do that you have a a_{n-2} term which can be used to find the recurrence relation. Its always the obvious things I miss for me...

Brian-san: Thank you very much for your help! Unfortunately I got stuck again. Shifting the other index's to the right twice to match the last series term was a great idea, but I fear now you can not find a recurrence relation. Currently this is what I got: a_{0}r(5r-1)x^{r} +...

ODE Series Solution Near Regular Singular Point, x^2*y term? (fixed post body) Homework Statement Find the series solution (x > 0) corresponding to the larger root of the indicial equation. 5x^{2}y'' + 4xy' + 10x^{2}y = 0 Homework Equations Solution form: y =...
