A particle with 4-momentum p*=(5,3,3,2) collides with a photon with 4-momentum k"- (5,0,3,4) and the result is another particle. 1) What is the mass of the initial particle 2) What is the mass of the final formed particle 3) What is the speed (not velocity) of the formed particle? 4) Is it allowed by 4-momentum conservation law for this formed particle to decay into two photons? Argue either yes or no and explain.
