Question:
(a) How much energy would be released if the proton did decay via the conjectured reaction p → (0 + e+?
(b) Given that the (0 decays to two γs and that the e+ will find an electron to annihilate, what total energy is ultimately produced in proton decay?
(c) Why is this energy greater than the proton's total mass (converted to energy)?
