In particle physics, the available energy is the energy in a particle collision available to produce new matter from the kinetic energy of the colliding particles. Since the conservation of momentum must be held, a system of two particles with a net momentum may not convert all their kinetic energy into mass - and thus the available energy is always less than or equal to the kinetic energy of the colliding particles. The available energy for a system of one stationary particle and one moving particle is defined as: : where : is the total energy of the target particle, : is the total energy of the moving particle, : is the mass of the stationary target particle, : is the mass of the moving particle, and : is the speed of light. ==Derivation== This derivation will use the fact that: : From the principle of the conservation of linear momentum: : Where and are the momentums of the created and the initially moving particle respectively. From the conservation of energy: : Where is the total energy of the created particle. We know that after the collision: : : : Donating this last equation (1). But : and since the stationary particle has no momentum : Therefore from (1) we have : Square rooting both sides and we get : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Available energy (particle collision)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
