Two protons collide and form a neutral pion through this interaction: Proton + proton --> proton + proton + pion. Protons have a mass of 938 MeV/c2 and the pion 135 MeV/c2. In the scenario where both incident protons are moving with the same speed, in opposite directions, what is the minimum kinetic energy for the protons to have to be able to produce the neutral pion as described above?
