The antiproton (p, pronounced p-bar) is the antiparticle of the proton. to most kinds of particles, there is an associated antiparticle with the same Mass and opposite Electric charge. The proton ( Greek πρῶτον / proton "first" is a Subatomic particle with an Electric charge of one positive Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy. Annihilation is defined as "total destruction" or "complete obliteration" of an object having its root in the Latin nihil (nothing It was discovered in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Their formation requires energy equivalent to a temperature of 10 trillion K (1013 K), and Big Bangs aside, this does not tend to happen naturally.

In Physics, mass–energy equivalence is the concept that for particles slower than light any Mass has an associated Energy and vice versa. A range of particles and antiparticles are formed, and the antiprotons are separated off using magnets in vacuum. to most kinds of particles, there is an associated antiparticle with the same Mass and opposite Electric charge. This vacuum means "absence of matter" or "an empty area or space" for the cleaning appliance see Vacuum cleaner.

In mid-June 2006, CERN succeeded in determining the mass of the antiproton, which they measured at 1,836. 153674(5) times more massive than an electron. The electron is a fundamental Subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J This is exactly the same as the mass of a "regular" proton, necessitating further research into the nature of difference between matter and anti-matter, in order to explain how our universe survived the Big Bang and why so little remains of antimatter today in our solar system. The Big Bang is the cosmological model of the Universe that is best supported by all lines of scientific evidence and Observation.

Occurrence in nature

Antiprotons have been detected in cosmic rays for over 25 years, first by balloon-borne experiments and more recently by satellite-based detectors. For the 1962 Bruce Conner film see Cosmic Ray (film Cosmic rays are energetic particles originating from space that impinge on The standard picture for their presence in cosmic rays is that they are produced in collisions of cosmic ray protons with nuclei in the interstellar medium, via the reaction:

p A → p p p A

The secondary antiprotons (p) then propagate through the galaxy, confined by the galactic magnetic fields. The proton ( Greek πρῶτον / proton "first" is a Subatomic particle with an Electric charge of one positive A galaxy is a massive gravitationally bound system consisting of Stars an Interstellar medium of gas and dust, and Dark matter In Physics, a magnetic field is a Vector field that permeates space and which can exert a magnetic force on moving Electric charges Their energy spectrum is modified by collisions with other atoms in the interstellar medium, and antiprotons can also be lost by "leaking out" of the galaxy.

The antiproton cosmic ray energy spectrum is now measured reliably and is consistent with this standard picture of antiproton production by cosmic ray collisions. [1] This sets upper limits on the number of antiprotons that could be produced in exotic ways, such as from annihilation of supersymmetric dark matter particles in the galaxy or from the evaporation of primordial black holes. In Particle physics, supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY) is a Symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to another particle that In Physics and cosmology, dark matter is hypothetical Matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force but whose presence can be inferred from Hawking radiation (also known as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation) is a Thermal radiation with a black body spectrum predicted to be emitted by Black holes A primordial black hole is a hypothetical type of Black hole that is formed not by the Gravitational collapse of a star but by the extreme density of matter present This also provides a lower limit on the antiproton lifetime of about 1-10 million years. Since the galactic storage time of antiprotons is about 10 million years, an intrinsic decay lifetime would modify the galactic residence time and distort the spectrum of cosmic ray antiprotons. This is significantly more stringent than the best laboratory measurements of the antiproton lifetime:

The properties of the antiproton are predicted by CPT symmetry to be exactly related to those of the proton. The electron is a fundamental Subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J Gamma rays (denoted as &gamma) are a form of Electromagnetic radiation or light emission of frequencies produced by sub-atomic particle interactions CPT symmetry is a fundamental symmetry of Physical laws under transformations that involve the inversions of charge, parity and In particular, CPT symmetry predicts the mass and lifetime of the antiproton to be the same as those of the proton, and the electric charge and magnetic moment of the antiproton to be opposite in sign and equal in magnitude to those of the proton. CPT symmetry is a basic consequence of quantum field theory and no violations of it have ever been detected. In quantum field theory (QFT the forces between particles are mediated by other particles

Uses

Antiprotons are routinely produced at Fermilab for collider physics operations in the Tevatron, where they are collided with protons. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ( Fermilab) located in Batavia near Chicago, Illinois, is a U Tevatron is a circular Particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia Illinois and is the highest energy particle collider The use of antiprotons allows for a higher average energy of collisions between quarks and antiquarks than would be possible in proton-proton collisions. In Physics, a quark (kwɔrk kwɑːk or kwɑːrk is a type of Subatomic particle. In Physics, a quark (kwɔrk kwɑːk or kwɑːrk is a type of Subatomic particle. This is because the valence quarks in the proton, and the valence antiquarks in the antiproton, tend to carry the largest fraction of the proton or antiproton's momentum. In Physics, the quark model is a classification scheme for Hadrons in terms of their valence quarks, i In Particle physics, the parton model was proposed by Richard Feynman in 1969 as a way to analyze high-energy Hadron collisions
