Consider a charged pion at rest which decays into a muon and a neutrino. Calculate
the speed of the muon as a function of the involved masses. The mass of the neutrino
can be neglected.
Antiprotons (p̄) are typically created by firing a proton (p) beam on a fixed target
(a proton at rest) via e.g. the reaction
p p → p p p p̄ .
Calculate the minimal energy of the moving protons in the beam such that the above
reaction is possible.
a) What are the parity eigenvalues of the two Kaons regarding the application of
the parity operator P ?

c) Construct the eigenstates of the combined operation of the parity operator
and the charge conjugation operator also called CP .
d) Into how many Pions can the CP eigenstates decay assuming CP conservation
in the weak interaction?
