- Homework Statement
- If I'm given an electron that collides with an anti-electron with momentum in the opposite direction, which produces another particle, P, how to I find the speed of particle P? And how to I find the rest energy?
The initial momentum of the electron is: 9.06GeV/c
Initial momentum of the anti-electron is: 3.1 GeV/c (which would be negative here)
I am given a rest energy of .511 MeV for both electron and anti-electron.
- Relevant Equations
- K=(gamma-1)mc^2?
Rest energy I know is mc^2.
I honestly have no clue where to start, any help would be great.
