How is anti matter created?

Answer 1

There are many ways to create anti-matter. Here are some natural sub-atomic processes that can produce anti-matter:

γ → e+ + e- (gamma ray becomes positron/electron pair)

C(11) → B(11) + e+ + Ve (Carbon-11 becomes Boron-11 plus a positron and a neutrino Ve - this is commonly known as beta plus decay)

p + A → 2p + p- + A (cosmic ray protons collide with atomic nuclei A and produce additional proton/anti-proton pair)

π+ → e+ + Ve (pi meson decays into positron and electron neutrino)

u+ → e+ + Ve + Vu- (antimuons decay to a positron, an electron-neutrino, and a muon-antineutrino)

So basically, we can either collect anti-matter via natural sub-atomic particle decay processes or through high-energy particle collisions (usually in high-energy particle accelerators like CERN). The method used in anti-matter confinement is the use of very strong magnetic fields called magnetic bottles which are usually in the shape of torus ring, and the anti-matter is propelled to move in circles inside the torus continuously.

Answer 2

One way is create it using particle accelerators, like CERN. However particle accelerators only produce a few trillionths of a gram of antimatter each year. This is only enough to power a 100watt lightbulb for a few seconds.

Currently, antimatter is the most expensive substance on Earth, about $80 trillion a gram.

The world's largest maker of antimatter (according to CNN in 2002), the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, makes only one billionth of a gram a year at a cost of $80 million. At that rate, it would take one million years and $80 quadrillion (80,000 trillion) to produce one gram.

Harold Gerrish of NASA/Marshall and others estimate that improvements in equipment to slow and trap the antiprotons could bring the price down to about $5,000 per microgram. This is $5 million a gram, if the cost could be brought down to $1.5 million a gram this is the equivalent of 6 cents per a kilowatt hour.

Answer 3

It's created by collisions of high energy particles. Normal matter is created at the same time. Particles are always created in mirror image pairs, or what we think of as a normal particle and its antiparticle. If they meet any of the opposite type of matter following their creation, they annihilate and become energy again.

Answer 4

Antimatter :

Antihydrogen atoms : creation of antimatter.
Simple way u can say

Imp: There is no conduction and convection only RADIARION

These are visible in cosmic rays and in certain nuclear reactions. The word antimatter properly refers to (elementary) antiparticles, composite antiparticles made with them (such as antihydrogen).

Cold anti-hydrogen atoms have been made, stored, and detected for the first time in an experiment.

we have to CREATE our own ANTIMATTER. Luckily, there is technology available to create antimatter through the use of high-energy particle colliders, also called "atom smashers." Atom smashers, like CERN, are large tunnels lined with powerful supermagnets that circle around to propel atoms at near-light speeds. When an atom is sent through this accelerator, it slams into a target, creating particles. Some of these particles are antiparticles that are separated out by the magnetic field. These high-energy particle accelerators only produce one or two picograms of antiprotons each year. A picogram is a trillionth of a gram. All of the antiprotons produced at CERN in one year would be enough to light a 100-watt electric light bulb for 3 seconds. It will take tons of antiprotons to travel to interstellar destinations.


USES:
The first example was robots with brains having antimatter pathways.

As medicine for brain scans.

Transforming all its mass into pure energy, antimatter is the perfect fuel. Star Trek's faster-than-light science-fiction spaceships use antimatter power, but research projects have also investigated the use of antimatter fuel for real.

Note:
This isn't a trick question :

Antimatter is exactly what you might think it is -- the opposite of normal matter, of which the majority of our universe is made. Until just recently, the presence of antimatter in our universe was considered to be only theoretical. In 1928, British physicist Paul A.M. Dirac revised Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. Dirac said that Einstein didn't consider that the "m" in the equation -- mass -- could have negative properties as well as positive. Dirac's equation (E = + or - mc2) allowed for the existence of anti-particles in our universe. Scientists have since proven that several anti-particles exist.
These anti-particles are, literally, mirror images of normal matter. Each anti-particle has the same mass as its corresponding particle, but the electrical charges are reversed. Here are some antimatter discoveries of the 20th century:

Positrons - Electrons with a positive instead of negative charge. Discovered by Carl Anderson in 1932, positrons were the first evidence that antimatter existed.
Anti-protons - Protons that have a negative instead of the usual positive charge. In 1955, researchers at the Berkeley Bevatron produced an antiproton.
Anti-atoms - Pairing together positrons and antiprotons, scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, created the first anti-atom. Nine anti-hydrogen atoms were created, each lasting only 40 nanoseconds. As of 1998, CERN researchers were pushing the production of anti-hydrogen atoms to 2,000 per hour.

Answer 5

hypothetical matter composed of anti-particles.anti-hydrogen for example would consist of an anti-proton and an orbital positron.while theoritically possible,the existence of anti-matter in the universe has never be detected .contact between matter and anti-matter would result in the annihilation of both with the production of annihilation radiation.

Answer 6

Anti matter is nothing but vaccum ,it can be created by sucking the air off.

Answer 7

it occurs naturally where a wormhole encounters a pulsar, producing a kind of atomic compost trail

Answer 8

long process.. not even sure if it really works
read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown.. you'll find out how. ;)
