In a proton accelerator a moving proton hits a solid target and stops. As a result an electron-positron pair is created at rest. The proton mass is 1.76E-27kg and the electron and positron have the same masses of 9.1E-31kg. What is the initial velocity of the proton?

(2) a) Consider a center-of-mass collision of a proton and ananti-proton (mp=938.3 MeV/c2) in a collidingbeam accelerator. What is the minimum proton momentum required inthis frame to produce a Z0 particle which has a massmz=91.2x103MeV/c2?

b) To what energy must an antiproton be accelerated in orderthat a collision with a proton in a fixed target (i.e., the protonis at rest) will be able to produce a Z0 particle?

A neutron at rest decays (breaks up) to a proton and an electron. Energy is released in the decay and appears as the kinetic energy of the proton and electron. The mass of a proton is 1836 times the mass of an electron.

What fraction of the total energy released goes into the kinetic energy of the proton?
