Relativistic kinematics for reactions involving massless particles

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-19 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Some useful kinematical relations for the absorption of a photon by a nucleus and its recoil are derived for the relativistic incident energies. These expressions provided for the relativistic kinematics of photoabsorption reactions, though simple, will be immensely useful for experimentalists as well as theoreticians.
