Advanced Analysis: Deriving the formula for g
The data are hidden. You may show them
in another window. This should make a bit of sense. All of these events are productions and decays of the charmed meson. The time between creation and decay of a particle is called the lifetime. Because the lifetime of a type of particle is an identifying characteristic, all of these events have that one thing in common; the lifetime. What is the average value of t? |
This value should look familiar; it is the accepted value for the lifetime
of the charmed meson! Do you recall using it earlier to predict decay
lengths?
Actually the accepted value for the lifetime is
