Noting that the GEANT4 data included data for the Kinetic Energy and not the total energy, we can perform the substitution using

[math]E^2=p^2+m^2[/math]

Performing the relativistic transformation, we find for an incoming electron with momentum of 11GeV, we should find the momentum in the center of mass to be around 53 MeV .
