Abstract
For each we give infinitely many knots that are strongly negative amphichiral, hence rationally slice and representing 2-torsion in the smooth concordance group, yet which do not bound any locally flatly embedded surface in the 4-ball with genus less than or equal to . Our examples also allow us to answer a question about the 4-dimensional clasp number of knots.
