I'm just being introduced to particle physics and wondering if I'm going about this correct..can someone help me? thanks
The measured width of the J/ψ meson is 88 keV. Estimate its lifetime.
Lifetime (s) of J/ψ meson is 8E-21 s
Using uncertainty principle: ΔE = h/2πΔt isolate for delta t?
8E-21s – 5E-22s
= 7.5E-21 s ?
