- How to transform between the two moving frames, the properties of a third frame?
A particle is moving in the lab frame ##S'## at ##\beta'_z##. I want to transform coordinates and momenta of the particle to a frame ##S## moving at ##\beta_0##.
At time ##t = t' = 0##:
$$z = \frac{z'} { \gamma_0 (1 - \beta'_z \beta_0) },\,
\gamma\beta_z = \gamma_0 ( \gamma'\beta'_z - \beta_0 \gamma' )$$
But what about at time ##t \ne 0## ?
I don't think it would be correct to do a normal lorentz transformation ## z = \gamma_0 ( z' - \beta_0 c t' )##
Sources would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
