Textbook Question
Chapter 44, Problem 44.52P
The K0 meson has rest energy 497.7 MeV. A K0 meson moving in the + x-direction with kinetic energy 225 MeV decays into a π+ and a π−, which move off at equal angles above and below the +x-axis. Calculate the kinetic energy of the π+and the angle it makes with the +x-axis. Use relativistic expressions for energy and momentum.
