Abstract
Here we present a list of the most important formulae needed for calculating relativistic collisions and decays. It includes one-to-two and one-to-three body decays, and the two-to-two scattering process both in the center of mass and laboratory frames. It also includes simplified general formulae of one, two and three-body Lorentz invariant phase space. No explicit calculation is performed, however the reader is highly encouraged to reproduce the results presented here.
