Relativistically, the x and y components remain the same in the conversion from the Lab frame to the Center of Mass frame, since the direction of motion is only in the z direction.

Relativistically, the x, y, and z components have the same magnitude, but opposite direction, in the conversion from the Moller electron's Center of Mass frame to the electron's Center of Mass frame.

Without knowing the values for gamma or beta, we can use the fact that lengths of the two 4-momenta are invariant

Setting these equal to each other, we can use this for the collision of two particles of mass m<sub>1</sub> and m<sub>2</sub>.  Since the total momentum is zero in the Center of Mass frame, we can express total energy in the center of mass frame as

Since momentum is conserved, the initial momentum from the incident electron and stationary electron is still the same in the Lab frame, therefore <math>p_{Lab}=11000 MeV</math>

This is the same as the initial total energy in the Lab frame, which should be expected since scattering is considered to be an elastic collision.
