### Problem/EM-05005

Consider a point charge $$q$$  embedded in a semi-infinite dielectric medium of dielectric ) constant  $$\epsilon_1$$, and located a distance  from a plane interface that separates the first medium from another semi-infinite dielectric medium of dielectric constant  $$\epsilon_2$$. Suppose that the interface coincides with the plane. Find the electric field everywhere if the distance of the point charge from the interface is $$d$$.

### $$\maltese$$ Problem/QM-05031 Temperature for Fusion Process in the Sun

 Consider an ionised plasma of protons in thermal equilibrium. Assuming a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, estimate the temperature required for two protons to overcome the Coulomb barrier for fusion assuming an approach distance of 1 fm. Compare this with the temperature when quantum effects come into play. For this, use the distance between the two protons as the de-Broglie wavelength at which Coulomb energy becomes equal to the kinetic energy of the protons.   Click for Solution       Source:Sarita Vig

### Repository of Questions, Problems and More

$$\require{\amssymb}$$

This  page has links to Short Questions and Problems in all areas.
These are classified into several groups. The groups are

1. Recall and understanding levels
2. Application and Analysis Levels
3. Synthesis and Judgement Creativity
4. Mixed Bag

The first three groups make use of Bloom's Taxonomy.
The Mixed Bag correspond to those outside this classification.

 Problems are marked with some symbols according to following classification.Widely known and must for first timers : $$\ddagger$$Problems on Interesting connections with other areas of Physics : $$\bigstar$$Requiring numerical estiamtes and/or comparison with experiments : $$\mathfrak{N}$$Recommended for experts : $$\maltese$$(a) contributions of  experts (b) selected from works of other experts (c) appearing here for the first timeCLICK HERE TO SEARCH FOR

### Question/QFT-15005

The interaction Hamiltonian for pion decay $$\pi^-\longrightarrow e^- + \bar{\nu}$$ can be written as $\Hsc_\text{int} = \frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}\bar{\psi}_e(x)\gamma_\mu(1-\gamma_5)\psi(x)_\nu \partial^\mu \phi_\pi^-(x) + h.c.$

1. Show that the decay rate is given by $\Gamma = \frac{g^2}{8\pi} \frac{m_e^2(m_\pi^2-m_e^2)^2}{m_\pi^3}.$
2. Assuming that the coupling constant for $$\pi^-\longrightarrow \mu^- +\bar{\nu}$$ is equal to that for the electron decay, calculate the branching ratio $\frac{\Gamma(\pi^-\longrightarrow \mu^- +\bar{\nu})} {\Gamma((\pi^-\longrightarrow e^- + \bar{\nu})}$

### QFT/15004

{The original four fermion interaction for beta decay of  neutron
$n \longrightarrow p + e^- + \bar{\nu}$
is of the of form
$\bar{\psi}_p(x)\gamma_\mu\psi_n(x) \bar{\psi}_\nu(x) \gamma^\mu \psi_e(x) + h.c.$
Now consider other processes given below. Which of these processes (real or virtual) are permitted and which ones are not permitted by the above interaction in the first order?

1.   $$\bar{p} \longrightarrow \bar{n} + e^- +\bar{\nu}$$;
2.   $$\bar{p} \longrightarrow \bar{n} + e^- +\nu$$;
3.   $$n \longrightarrow p + e^+ + \nu$$;
4.   $$p \longrightarrow n + e^+ + \bar{\nu}$$;
5.   $$\bar{n} \longrightarrow \bar{p} + e^+ + \nu$$;
6.   $$\bar{n} \longrightarrow \bar{p} + e^+ + \bar{\nu}$$.

Give brief reason in each case.
