Homework Statement
what quantities are conserved in the decay of Lambda 0 and in the decay of pion 0
Relevant Equations
E(Lambda0) = E(n) + E(pi0)
E = squart(p^2*c^2 + m^2*c^4)
p(n) = p(pi0)

Sorry so much
 
A hyperon at rest Lambda zero decays into a neutron and a zero pion. a) Determine the kinetic energies of the decay products. b) What fraction of the total kinetic energy is taken out of each particle? c) A physicist detects on Earth one of the two photons that are emitted in the decay of a zero pion. The zero pion was at rest in the cluster shown in Figure 44.19 before it decayed. What is the energy of the photon that is detected on Earth?
The Scale factor of the Universe is 0.35.

The Universe expanded during the time the photon traveled to Earth. How does this affect the wavelength and energy of the photon that the physicist detects
 
Thanks, that helps. Now can you show us how you should apply the Relevant Equations that you listed to start working on the problem? :smile:
 
Thanks Berkeman
