Decay and Invariant mass [closed]
Consider the following decay :
\begin{equation}
K^+\longrightarrow \pi^0 + e^+ + l^0
\end{equation}
where $l^0$ is a neutral lepton.
What kind of particle is $l^0$?
For $K^+$ , if it's at rest, ...

How is the fraction of a particular neutrino species calculated?
Suppose we assume that a neutrino is formed in the $\left| \nu_2 \right>$ eigenstate. Then,
\begin{align}
\left| \psi(x, t) \right>
&= \left| \nu_2 \right> e^{-i\phi_2} \\
&= \left(...

Neutrino interaction probability [closed]
Just a quick question, if a single 1GeV neutrino (muon neutrino) were fired at a block of iron with a given density, $\rho$, and the neutrino-nucleon interaction cross section is $\sigma$, what would ...
