At time , the accelerated proton has momentum and, by the relativistic energy-momentum relation, energy
The incident Cosmic microwave background photon adds energy . Since the final state contains only the Delta-plus baryon, conservation of relativistic energy gives its laboratory-frame Lorentz factor
Its rest-frame decay time is a proper time, so time dilation gives the laboratory decay time
