===Moller electron Center of Mass Frame===

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.

We choose negative, since the incoming electron in the lab frame is traveling in the positive direction, and the Moller electron is initially at rest, which translates to negative motion in the CM frame.

Redefining the components in simpler terms, we use the fact that

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

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.
