- How is it possible to find the energies of two photons from a moving pi-meson that has a given rest mass and kinetic energy. It decays in flight and the photons are emitted in paths along the direction of motion of the meson.
- Relevant Equations
- E' = E(sqrt{1+beta/1-beta})
TotalE{meson} = E{1} + E{2}
I've tried using gammamc^{2} = E1 + E2 but how do i find gamma?? If i try to use the kinetic energy then I just get gammamv^2 = 1gev but i don't know v? very confused
