Analysis of W Decays: Counting the quark colours


On your desk should be (ask if not!) a piece of paper with a list of 20 events. Fill in the list, and calculate the number of colours using the equation given. If you would like to know where the equation comes from, have a look at the this description.

Your list identifies 20 individual events from those in the

W event sample.

We shall calculate a total by adding up all the results from the room. This will be considerably more accurate.
