Incurably Curious

I'm interested in knowing where can i find the information on decay time of (possibly every?) different type of bosons, hadrons and fermions, which is available to the public (tiletles of books, articles, ...). Any suggestions or ideas?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
And for some hadron resonances X, in case you can't find their lifetime, t_X, you can use their width, \Gamma_X:
t_X = \frac{\hbar}{\Gamma_X}
-------------
e.g. such is the case of \Delta(1232) from what I saw...
pdgLive (lbl.gov)
with \Gamma_\Delta \approx 117 \text{ MeV} (from pdg)
and \hbar c \approx 197.327 \text{ MeV fm} (just a conversion constant)
you get:
t_\Delta = \frac{\hbar}{\Gamma_X}= \frac{\hbar c}{\Gamma_X ~c}=\frac{197.327}{117} \text{ fm/c} \approx 1.7 \text{ fm/c}
which is the lifetime of the \Delta(1232) at its pole mass (Fig.2 1507.03279.pdf (arxiv.org) ).
