I'm doing an essay on L3 experiment and the LEP collider and the first energy the electrons and positrons had were "45.6GeV/beam". I want to convert this to the amount of energy for one electron/positron and see how much mass a single electron/positron gains.
I know 1GeV = 10^9 * 1.6 x 10^-19 J
and I know E = mc^2 +(pc)^2
and electron mass 9.11 x 10^-31kg but I need to know what the "per beam" bit means?!
Thank you
