    Relativistic energy/momentum, massless particles

    How about this: p(muon) = p(antineutrino) = p E(antineutrino) = pc E(muon) = sqrt[(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2] plug these into conservation of E and solve for p after some math I get p = 29.79 MeV/c so E(antineutrino) = 29.79 MeV E(muon) = 109.78 MeV The two E's add up to equal E(pion), 139.57

    Relativistic energy/momentum, massless particles

    Homework Statement A pion at rest decays into a muon and an antineutrino. The mass of the antineutrino is zero, find the energies and momenta of the muon and antineutrino. Mass of the pion is 139.57 MeV/c^2 and the mass of the muon is 105.66 MeV/c^2 Homework Equations pion -> muon +...
