The reaction e + + e μ + + μ is studied using a collider with equal

Question:

The reaction e++ eˆ’†’ μ++ μˆ’is studied using a collider with equal beam energies of 3 GeV. The differential cross-section in natural units is given by

a? (1+ cos² 0), AECM do UP 4E?

where ECM is the total centre-of-mass energy and θ is the angle between the initial eˆ’ and the final μˆ’. If the detector can only record an event if the μ+μˆ’ pair makes an angle of at least 250 relative to the beam line, what fraction of events will be recorded? What is the total cross-section for this reaction in nanobarns? If the reaction is recorded for 107 s at a luminosity of L = 1031/cm2 s, how many events are expected?
