A neutral pion, π0, moving at 0.999c
relative to the lab frame decays into two massless particles. One
particle moves in the same direction as the pion did while the
other moves in the opposite direction. The pion has a mass of 135
GeV/c2. What are the energy and momentum of the
massless particles as measured in the lab frame? As measured in the
pion’s rest frame?

A K+-meson (with a rest mass of 493.7 MeV/c2)
initially at rest decays into a μ+ (positive muon with
rest mass of 105.7 MeV/c2), Two photons and a neutrino (assume
exactly zero rest mass - not quite true). The Muon is observed to
move along the x-axis with momentum 100MeV/c. The two photons are
observed to have identical energies but opposite directions along
the positive and negative y-axes. The neutrino (not shown) is
unseen. Find the energies of the photons.Hint:...
