AOCalc – beam basics: relativity factors, convert Kin. Energy to P, energy/momentum spread

About AOCalc:

Accelerator-Oriented Calculator, AOCalc, is a collection of calculator tools used for the convenience of accelerator physics research and studies.

How to use:

Simple. Put the mass, kinetic energy or momentum, energy spread or momentum spread (optional) in the input bars and click on Calculate.
