Determine the total energy released

Reference no: EM13706846

Problem: In proton-antiproton annihilation, a proton and an antiproton (which has the same mass as the proton, but carries a negative charge) interact, and both masses are completely converted to electromagnetic radiation. Assuming that the particles are moving toward one another at a speed of 0.80 c relative to the laboratory reference frame before they annihilate,

Part A: Determine the total energy released in the form of radiation according to a laboratory technician.

(In MeV units)
