All squaring, square rooting and doubling aside. It is a simple matter of energy. Electron volts is a statement of energy and not voltage, (as we all know).

A deuteron accelerated to an energy of any given "EV" only carries that much energy into the collision whether hitting a stationary wall or another particle head on. On collision, the energies of the particles relative to the observer (us) are simply summed.


I gotta' go with Ely on this one.
