An electron (rest mass me) of
energy E makes a head-on collision with a positron (positron is
electron’s antiparticle, it has the same mass as electron, but

each traveling at equal angles θ with electron’s direction of
motion. Find 1. The energy of each photon. 2. The momentum p of
each photon. 3. The angle θ.
