Problem

A collider delivers an integrated luminosity of

2.0\,\mathrm{fb^{-1}}

to an experiment. The production cross section for a particular new particle at this collision energy is

\sigma = 0.50\,\mathrm{pb}

. Assuming perfect detection efficiency, find the number of these particles produced.
