- An Antiproton Is Identical To A Proton Except It Has The Opposite Charge E To Study Antiprotons They Must Be Confine 1 (26.74 KiB) Viewed 10 times
An antiproton is identical to a proton except it has the opposite charge, -e. To study antiprotons, they must be confined in an ultrahigh vacuum because they will annihilate-producing gamma rays-if they come into contact with the protons of ordinary matter. One way of confining antiprotons is to keep them in a magnetic field. Suppose that antiprotons are created with a speed of 3.0 x 10¹ m/s and then trapped in a 2.0 mT magnetic field. Part A What minimum diameter must the vacuum chamber have to allow these antiprotons to circulate without touching the walls? Express your answer with the appropriate units. μÀ ? d = Value Units
