Hello, I am trying to derive the formula given in by
.
I understand we need to move it to the center of momentum frame to solve. Using the relativistic energy equations. I find that :
E = E1 + E2
E1 = sqrt((Mc)2+(pc)2)
E2 = sqrt((mc)2+(pc)2)
where both have equal magnitudes momentum p since its the center of momentum frame.
However, this is where i get stuck. no matter how i add them up i can't seem to get rid of the square root signs and solve the equation.
