Homework Equations
K = mc^2/(1 -v^2/c^2)^(1/2) - mc^2
E = ((pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2)^(1/2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know how to find the kinetic energies of the particles in the center of mass frame. I thought that they should just be exactly half the energy released in the decay from 498MeV to 140MeV (i.e. 179MeV), but that is wrong.
