(b) The three leptons e,, and may be assomed to have some weak interaction coupling constant. The lepton (mass 1748MeVc2) and muon (mass 105MeVc2) have decay modes and branching ratios as follows:
longrightarrowe+v+bar(v),(100%)
longrightarrowe+v+bar(v),(17%)
(i) Given that the mean lifetime of the muon is 2.210-6, make an estimate of the mean lifetime of the -lepton.
(ii) If -lepton with the momentum 5Gev2c are produced in an e-e+collider, calculate the mean flight path before and after in the Laboratory system-[ Mint: consider the time dialation).
 (b) The three leptons e,, and may be assomed to have
