Question:

The first evidence for the Higgs boson suggests it has a rest energy of 125 GeV and an average lifetime of 1.56 × 10-22 s.

(a) What is its mass in kg?

(b) Neglecting the effects of relativity, at what speed will the Higgs boson travel 1.0 m during an average lifetime?

(c) When relativistic time dilation is taken into account, it can be shown that the speed of a particle that travels a distance d in the laboratory frame of reference while a time t0 elapses in the particle's frame of reference is given by
