Statement

14.2.2. Lifetime of a stationary particle . At what speed must this particle move in order to travel a distance before decaying?

Solution

In the laboratory frame, the lifetime of a moving particle is increased due to the relativistic time dilation effect:

The particle must cover the distance within the time :

Substituting the expression for :

Let's solve this inequality for . First, divide both sides by and square both sides:

Multiply both sides by :

Distribute and bring all terms to one side:

Factor out :

Now solve for :
