Collision in the Lab frame
Not what you're looking for?
An experiment is to be designed to measure the differential cross section for elastic pion-proton scattering at a CM (center of mass) scattering angle of 70 degrees and a pion CM kinetic energy of 490KeV
Find teh angles in the lab at which the scattered pions, and recoiling protons should be detected, and teh required Lab kinetic energy of teh pion beam (the ratio of pion to proton mass is 1/7)
