I was told that when electrons and positrons collide they produce 2 photons of 0.511MeV each. But what happens to the kinetic energy of the electrons and positrons? It just feels to me that the energy is not conserved.
I was told somewhere that the relative KE of the particles to each other is 0, but I don't understand this.
Any help would be greately appreciated.
