Consider a high energy photon interacting in tissue. The photon first interacts via pair production before undergoing a Compton Interaction. The positron from pair production undergoes annihilation at the end of its life (no longer in-flight). One annihilation photon undergoes a Compton interaction and scatters at an angle of 100 degrees.

Calculate the kinetic energy of the scattered photon.

Some particles are created via collisions. For instance, pions are created via collisions with high energy protons and carbon, which releases neutrons and pions (which they themself, decay into muons). Suppose two particles with momenta of p1 = (3,-1, 0, 0) kg and p2 = (2, 1, 1, 0) kg collide. Three particles are created as a result from this collision, two of which have momenta of p3 = (1, 1, 0, 0) kg and p4 = (1,-0.5, 0, 0)...

Consider a head-on, elastic collision between a massless photon (momentum po and energy Eo ) and a stationary free electron. a) Assuming that the photon bounces directly back with momentum p (in the direction of po ) and energy E, use conservation of energy and momentum to find p. b) Verify that your answer agrees with that given by Compton's formula with theta = pi.

Consider the fundamental process of pair production in which a particle and its antiparticle are created when a photon of high enough kinetic energy passes through the Coulomb field of a heavy nucleus. What exact conservation laws, if any, does this process violate? 1. Charge conservation... particles with charge are created out of nothing. 2. Baryon number conservation... matter is created out of nothing. 3. Lepton number conservation... matter is created out of nothing. 4. Energy conservation... particles with energy...

There are two parts to this question first part: Consider a production facility, where the present value of expected future cash inflows from production, V = 80, may fluctuate in line with the random fluctuation in demand (u = 1.4, d = 0.71 per period and the risk-free rate, r = 5%). Suppose management has the option in two years, to contract to half the scale and half the value of the project (c = 50%), and recover $40m (Rc...
