4. What is the ground-state energy of positronium, the bound state of an electron and positron? Hint: electron and positron have equal masses, so one cannot assume that one of the particles is at rest, while the other orbits around it. It is necessary to calculate using the reduced mass

Positronium is a hydrogen-like atom that consists of a positron (anti-electron) and an electron revolving around one another. The positron has the same mass as an electron but the opposite charge (same magnitude, but positive). a. Use Bohr's theory and the reduced mass (see problem lb and Krane Sec. 6.8) of the positron-electron system to show that 6.8 eV En= --"2_ , for positronium. b. The n -1 to n-2 transition in positronium has been measured to be roughly 1.2336...

An electron (rest mass me) of
energy E makes a head-on collision with a positron (positron is
electron’s antiparticle, it has the same mass as electron, but
opposite charge) In collision the two particles annihilate each
other and are replaces by two photons (γ rays) of equal energy,
each traveling at equal angles θ with electron’s direction of
motion. Find 1. The energy of each photon. 2. The momentum p of
each photon. 3. The angle θ.

A nucleus whose mass is 3.730032 x 10-25 kg undergoes spontaneous "alpha" decay. The original nucleus disappears and there appear two new particles: a He-4 nucleus of mass 6.640678x10-27 kg (an "alpha particle" consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and a new nucleus of mass 3.663533 x 10-25 kg (note that the new nucleus has less mass than the original nucleus, and it has two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons). In these calculations, it is very important to...

Particle Physics
Let's do a little particle physics. Back in the '9os there was a large electron-positron collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, called the "Large electron-positron collider," or LEP for short. (This collider was broken down and rebuilt into an even larger one that runs to this day, called the "Large hadron collider" or LHC.) It was LEP that discovered the W and Z bosons, which mediate weak nuclear processes like the beta decay of free neutrons Anyway, near...
