An electron having a kinetic energy of 10 GeV makes a head-on collision with a positron having the same energy. The collision produces two muons (mc2 = 105.7 MeV) moving in opposite directions. Find the kinetic energy and velocity of each muon.

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
opposite charge) In collision the two particles annihilate each
other and are replaces by two photons (γ rays) of equal energy,
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.

I would appreciate an answer to part two!
In an experiment two beams of protons with the same energy are fired at each other. Particle detectors surround the interaction point. One unusual event is recorded which contains one electron and two muons. It is hypothesized that these could arise from the decay of a hitherto unknown particle, the 'X'. The energy and momentum...

Let's do a little particle physics. Back in the '9os there was a large electron-positron collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, called the "Large electron-positron collider," or LEP for short. (This collider was broken down and rebuilt into an even larger one that runs to this day, called the "Large hadron collider" or LHC.) It was LEP that discovered the W and Z bosons, which mediate weak nuclear processes like the beta decay of free neutrons Anyway, near...

An alpha particle with a kinetic energy of 12.0 MeV makes a head-on collision with a gold nucleus at rest. What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles? (Assume that the gold nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge.

An alpha particle with a kinetic energy of 10.0 MeV makes a head-on collision with a gold nucleus at rest. What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles? (Assume that the gold nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point change. The atomic number of gold is 79, and the alpha particle is a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
