(a) A moving π0 particle of rest-mass mπ decays into two photons of zero rest-mass,
π0→γ+γ
Show that
sin2θ=2E1E2mπc2
where θ is the angle between the three-momenta of the two photons and E1,E2 are their energies.
(b) The π−particle of rest-mass mπ decays into an electron of rest-mass me and a neutrino of zero rest mass,
π−→e−+ν.
Show that v, the speed of the electron in the rest frame of the π−, is
v=c[1+(me/mπ)21−(me/mπ)2]
