Greetings everyone, I'm new to these forums and would first like to salute all of you.
Also, I've got a few little questions about matter/antimatter interaction and was wandering if anybody could help me out.
What are the conditions that must be met for a particle and an antiparticle to annihilate?
Say I shoot an antiproton into gazeous helium, would it be able to annihilate with a proton that is bound in an He nucleous? What if you make it collide with dense, solid material?
Also, could an antihydrogen atom annihilate directly with an hydrogen atom? What about with a normal matter atom of another kind (Cu for example)?
