Consider a proton and antiproton collision. The goal is to produce a top quark and anti-top quark pair. If a top quark has a mass of 174 GeV/c2, how much energy is required in the center of mass frame to produce the combination? I'm somewhat utterly stumped. Obviously, the problem deals with...

Awesome, thanks. Also, what about if a strange and anti-strange quark, through the strong force (this one involves two gluons), formed an anti-up quark and up quark, which then combined to form a negative and positive Kaon? I suppose the reason I'm confused is that I don't understand how an up...

I'm working on a problem involving decay of a 2 strange/2 anti-strange tetraquark particle. 4 sample decay diagrams are given and I am to describe them and choose which is most prevalent. In on diagram, two of the strange/anti-strange quarks become two down/anti-down quarks via gluon through...

I do. And I know it can be solved using an integrating factor, but the directions for the assignment explicitly state that the solution must be obtained using the power series method.

Homework Statement xy'-(x+2)y=-2x2-2x Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm clueless as to how to solve this as I'm only experienced in using the power series method with homogenous ODE's. Even if I make this homogenous, I don't know what to do with the x-variables that are not...
