If a proton is moving at very high spll *b:- 9qc0 z.ajgqmsee 5aj ekb3rcfd(w3q7g,d, so that its kinetic energy is much greater than itdgacqk b,jr(fwe 3753s rest energy ($mc^2$), can it then decay via $p \to n + \pi^+$?
参考答案: no
本题详细解析: No, even if the proton has an extremely large bxa58((aqgrba6g 6 we kinetic energy (and, thus, an extremely large mom( 8 baaag6brq(xe6g5wentum), there is no way to conserve both energy and momentum during such a decay $( \text{p} \to \text{n} + \pi^+ )$. Observed from the rest frame of the proton, the decay is energetically impossible, and so it is energetically impossible in every other reference frame as well. In the frame in which the proton is moving fast, the decay products must move very fast as well in order to conserve momentum, and with this constraint, there will still not be enough energy to make the decay energetically possible.
