The average energy of particles E=10GeV=1.61010JE=10 GeV = 1.6 \cdot 10^{10} J

k = Boltzmann’s constant =1.3811023J/K=1.381 \cdot 10^{−23} J/K

E=kT    T=EkE=kT\implies T=\frac{E}{k}

T=1.610101.381023=1.151014KT = \frac{1.6\cdot 10^{10}}{1.38\cdot 10^{-23}}=1.15 \cdot 10^{14} K

Answer T=1.151014KT = 1.15 \cdot 10^{14} K
