At time $t_0$, the accelerated proton has momentum $p=qE{t}_0$ and, by the relativistic energy-momentum relation, energyThe incident Cosmic microwave background photon adds energy $E_{\gamma }$. Since the final state contains only the Delta-plus baryon, conservation of relativistic energy gives its laboratory-frame Lorentz factorIts rest-frame decay time $t_{\Delta }$ is a proper time, so time dilation gives the laboratory decay time
