12. A beam of negatively charged pions of energy E strikes a target of stationary protons to give rise to the reaction + p→n+Y If the neutron emerges at 90° to the direction of the incident pion beam, show that its energy is m²c4 2(E+ m₂c²) The difference between neutron and proton mass is negligible. E₁ = mc² + 12.
