Question:

(a) A high-energy beam of alpha particles collides with a stationary helium gas target. What must the total energy of a beam particle be if the available energy in the collision is 16.0 GeV?

(b) If the alpha particles instead interact in a colliding-beam experiment, what must the energy of each beam be to produce the same available energy?
