i read that the cosmic rays are almost at the velocity of the light, therefore, if they are relativistic their energy it is expressed as
E = (p2c2 + m02c4)½
if the cosmic rays have a spectrum energy from 109 GeV to 1021 GeV
the difference between a proton with an energy of 109 and another one with an energy of 1021 it depends only of the momentum? and if it does, How is this possible?
