Problem 60P
When a proton encounters an antiproton, the two particles annihilate each other, producing two gamma rays. Assuming the particles were at rest when they annihilated, find the energy of each of the two gamma rays produced. (Note: Tire rest energies of an antiproton and a proton are identical.)
