Struggling through this question at the moment:
Find the total energy available to form rest energy of new particles when:
a) A proton with kinetic energy 14GeV has a head-on collision with an antiproton with the same kinetic energy
b) An antiproton with kinetic energy 28GeV collides with a stationary proton. (Take the rest energy of a proton to be approximately 1GeV.)
I've done part a by E=Ek + 2mpc2 but have no idea how to approach part b. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Think about what energies are available before they annihilate.
