Initially, before the collision in the CM frame, p<sub>2</sub> was in the negative z direction.  After the collision, the direction should reverse to the positive z direction.  This same switching of the momentum direction alters p<sub>1</sub> as well.

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
