Chapter 36, Problem 36.79

(choose chapter or problem)

One of the important ways in which the Higgs boson was detected at the Large Hadron Collider was by observing a type of decay in which the Higgswhich decays too quickly to be observed directlyis immediately transformed into two photons emitted back to back. Two photons, with momenta 3.31 * 10-17 kgm/s, were detected. What is the mass of the Higgs boson? Give your answer as a multiple of the proton mass. Hint: The relationship between energy and momentum applies to photons if you treat a photon as a massless particle.
