A π⁰ particle hits a stationary neutron and as a result resonance Δ⁰(1232) is created, with mass 1232 MeV/c².

Choose the right sentence:

a) Δ⁰ will have a momentum of 299 MeV/c

b) Δ⁰ will be found at rest after the collision

c) the neutron and π⁰ do not have enough mass to create Δ⁰.

d) it is impossible to conclude anything regarding this reaction, as the momentum of particle π⁰ is unknown.

Show your calculations or briefly reason your answer.

THANK YOU!

Expert Solution

First we found the number of unknown in the equations. Then we used the options to check which of the options is not violating these equations. We found out that only option (a) satisfied these conditions and all other options are incorrect.

So (a) is correct option

The question was going lengthy and i was running out of time . So i used shortcut method.
