If I add kinetic energy and rest energy (350+135 = 485 MeV) and use this value for E my momentum seems to be to large (p = 465.83). Unless I am making another mistake in the part below. θ = cos-1(Pc / 2E) θ = cos-1(465.83 MeV/c) c / (2)(175 MeV) θ = cos-1(1.33)(which cannot be )

2) A π0 of kinetic energy 350 MeV decays in flight into 2 γ rays of equal energies. Determine the angles of the γ rays from the incident π0 direction. Not sure where I am going wrong but my answer is not correct. Energy of π0 meson E = 350 MeV Rest mass Energy of π0 meson E0 = 135...
