When one speaks of high energy particles like electrons and protons, it would not be correct to view them just as massive particles. It must be remembered that they have an electro-magnetic field attached to them and which propagates along with them as they move. From the perspective of Quantum Electrodynamics, they emit virtual photons and other particles which contributes to the field around them.
