How much energy is released when a ${\text{µ}}^{-}$ muon at rest decays into an electron and two neutrinos? Neglect the small masses of the neutrinos.

Calculate the minimum beam energy in a proton-proton collider to initiate the $p+p\to p+p+{\eta }^0$ reaction. The rest energy of the ${\eta }^0$ is $547.3$ MeV (see Table $44.3$).

You work for a start-up company that is planning to use antiproton annihilation to produce radioactive isotopes for medical applications. One way to produce antiprotons is by the reaction $p+p\to p+p+p+\bar{p}$ in proton-proton collisions. You first consider a colliding-beam experiment in which the two proton beams have equal kinetic energies. To produce an antiproton via this reaction, what is the required minimum kinetic energy of the protons in each beam?

A $K^{+}$ meson at rest decays into two $p$ mesons. What are the allowed combinations of ${\pi }^0$ , ${\pi }^{+}$, and ${\pi }^{-}$ as decay products?

What is the total kinetic energy of the decay products when an upsilon particle at rest decays to $r^{+}+r^{-}$?

In which of the following reactions or decays is strangeness conserved? In each case, explain your reasoning.

(a) $K^{+}+{\mu }^{+}+{\nu }_{\mu }$

(b) $n+K^{+}\to p+{\pi }^0$

(c) $K^{+}+K^{-}\to {\pi }^0+{\pi }^0$

(d) $p+K^{-}\to {\Lambda }^0+{\pi }^0$

If a ${\Sigma }^{+}$ at rest decays into a proton and a ${\pi }^0$, what is the total kinetic energy of the decay products?
