33.5 Exercise 25

Avg difficulty 2.5

One decay mode for the eta-zero meson is η0→π0+π0\eta^{0} \rightarrow \pi^{0} + \pi^{0}.

(a) Write the decay in terms of the quark constituents.

(b) How much energy is released?

(c) What is the ultimate release of energy, given the decay mode for the pi zero is π0→γ+γ\pi^{0} \rightarrow \gamma + \gamma?
