Relativistic Collision
Edwin F. Taylor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Investigate high-speed collisions, total annihilation, and decay. Explore creation and transformation. You can even watch a movie! But you don't need popcorn for this show - just a basic familiarity with the concept of relativistic interaction.
Relativistic Collision is a graphics-oriented utility program that will develop your understanding and intuition about relativistic particle interactions. You can analyze and solve problems for phenomena including particle collisions, pair creation, transformation, decay, and the annihilation of particles moving in one or two spatial dimensions.
Three different windows share data to display information about an interaction. The Particle Table works like a spreadsheet. You enter known data about the particles entering and leaving the interaction, and the program will complete the table using an algorithm that considers energy, momentum, mass, geometry, and the laws of special relativity. The Movie window shows an animated simulation of the interaction, and the Momentum-Energy Plots window exhibits a three-dimensional graph for each particle and for the total system. You can view the movie and graphs from several reference frames, and you can specify the velocity components relative to the current frame. PC, 62 pp.; Mac, 64 pp.
