I recently checked this link...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_antiproton_annihilation
It says that...For proton-antiproton annihilation at 2 GeV, one final state result is
p + p → π0
+ γ1 + γ2 + γ3 + γ4
with γ1 and γ3 ~125 MeV each, γ2 and γ4 ~530 MeV each
but if we add up all the MeV, then it is less than what should be the resulting energy...isnt it?
I mean all the photons will add up to make 1280 MeV, also it is happening at 2 GeV so it should definitely produce more energetic photons following the law of conservation of energy...
Are the scientists today still confused about this whole annihilation process? do they still need more study? please explain
