    Decay of tauon into pion and neutrino

    So the neutrino can never be stationary? I thought that would be the case. If this is so, then how do you go about maximising the energy of the pion?

    Decay of tauon into pion and neutrino

    Decay of tauon into pion and neutrino... Hello all. I have a question. One of the weak decays of a tauon(energy 20GeV) is to a charged pion(rest mass 139.6Mev/c^2) and a neutrino(take the neutrino to be massless). What condition results in the maximum energy of the pion after the...

    Undergrad Energy to remove a proton and a neutron from a nucleus

    Ah Ok so it's just a different (quicker) way of doing it? Thanks Shroom

    Undergrad Energy to remove a proton and a neutron from a nucleus

    Hey, I am doing a similar problem, calculating the energy required to remove one neutron from Zr with atomic number 91 using the semi empirical mass formula. Is it simply the average binding energy of the nucleon? Which I get to be 8.795 MeV. Someone above has mentioned to use E=mc^2. If...
