Equal-energy two-photon decay of a moving particle

ID: equal-energy-two-photon-decay-of-a-moving-particle

For a parent moving at and decaying into two photons of equal laboratory energies, momentum conservation gives photon directions symmetric about the parent direction with . The opening angle is . In the parent rest frame the photons are opposite and perpendicular to the boost direction.
