An Unstable Particle Produced in a High-Energy Collision Is Measured 483MeV483 \mathrm { MeV }

Question 18

Short Answer

An unstable particle produced in a high-energy collision is measured to have an energy of 483MeV483 \mathrm { MeV } and an uncertainty in energy of 29keV29 \mathrm { keV } . Use the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to estimate the lifetime of this particle. (h=6.626×1034 Js,1eV=1.60×1019)\left( h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \right)
