Hi first time user here.
I was hoping someone could please help me with the following question:
A moving neutral pion is observed to decay into 2 photons each with energy 80MeV, there being an angle 120deg between their trajectories.Calc
i)The total energy of the meson
ii)The momentum of the meson
iii)The rest mass of the meson
I am aware one must use the realtivistic formula for energy etc, but it is the business of the angle that confuses me.
Thanks for your time...
