Tables of nuclides and isotopes list kinetic energies of various decay products in MeV and KeV. Velocity must be calculated. However, at these speeds, relativistic mass is an issue. I am not interested in the kinetic energy mass equivalence of the beta particle, just the velocity of the particle and the means for directly calulating same.
That is what I really need, a formula for directly converting kinetic energy in MeV to velocity, for both alpha and beta particles.
Thanks for your help. Paul
