Question
For 10 points each, answer the following about muons:
[10e] Muons are considered leptons, a classification that includes neutrinos, tauons, and these elementary particles. These negatively charged particles orbit atomic nuclei.
ANSWER: electrons
[10m] Muons are the most energetic decay product of atmospheric pions, which belong to this class of particles. A charm quark is part of the “J/psi” [J-sigh] particle of this type.
ANSWER: mesons [accept pi meson; accept J/psi meson; prompt on hadrons]
[10h] This scientist posited the existence of mesons as the carriers of the strong force binding nuclei together. This scientist also names a screened Coulomb potential with a decaying exponential factor of “alpha m r”.
ANSWER: Hideki Yukawa [or Yukawa Hideki; accept Yukawa potential]
