Hi everyone, I hope this type of question is allowed on these forums.
As part of my school curriculum, we are required to develop a research question in any field of science that we choose, and were given a reasonable length of time to do this. I, however, entered the school late and thus received help in this project later than the other students.
Having chosen nuclear fusion and/or fission as my research topic, I am required to create a question - (E.g: How can (this) affect (that) process in nuclear (fission/fusion) to ultimately produce (more/safer) energy?)
I am then required to answer such question in a 4000 word report.
The report is due in a long time, however I must develop a question within two days, and write an 800 word justification, it is only thinking of a question with which I need help.
I hope anyone has some ideas.

Thanks.

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
