Table 1 lists the systematic uncertainties on a matter-antimatter asymmetry, also known as charge-paritv (CP) asvmmetrv, measured for the decay of a Dº meson into a K+K¯a+n¯ final state. Given that the CP asymmetry is defined by NA- NB A NA + NB where NA = 10974± 117 and NB = 10749±116, compute the value and uncertainty on A, writing statistical and systematic uncertainties separately. You may assume that NA and Ng are uncorrelated and that the systematic uncertainties are uncorrelated. Table 1: Systematic uncertainty contributions on A for Dº → K+K¯ata¯ data.

The range of the nuclear strong force is believed to be about 1.2 x 10-15 m. An early theory of nuclear physics proposed that the particle that “mediates” the strong force (similar to the photon mediating the electromagnetic force) is the pion. Assume that the pion moves at the speed of light in the nucleus, and calculate the time ∆t it takes to travel between nucleons. Assume that the distance between nucleons is also about 1.2 x 10-15 m. Use this time ∆t to calculate the energy ∆E for which energy conservation is violated during the time ∆t. This ∆E has been used to estimate the mass of the pion. What value do you determine for the mass? Compare this value with the measured value of 135 MeV/c2 for the neutral pion.
where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process)
