The primary decay mode for the negative pion is  7   H + VH.

(a) What is the energy release in MeV in this decay?

(b) Using conservation of momentum, how much energy does each of the decay products receive, given the π- is at rest when it decays? You may assume the muon antineutrino is massless and has momentum p = E/c, just like a photon.

7 H + VH.
