Relativistic three-body decay by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-18 Updated 2026-10-20
A particle decay into three daughter particles subject to four-momentum conservation and the relativistic energy-momentum relation. The daughter energies generally vary continuously even in the parent's rest frame. Grouping two daughters into a recoil system of variable invariant mass turns the remaining kinematics into a relativistic two-body decay.
