Please help me with relativistic dynamic problem.
A particle of rest mass m and velocity v collides elastically with a stationary particle of rest mass M. Express the recoil and scattering angels in terms of the corresponding angles in the zero-momentum system. Show that your answers reduce to the non-relativistic ones if v<
