Most data gathered from high energy experiments at colliders are analyzed assuming that particles stable enough to not decay in the detector volume, and able to interact strongly or electromagnetically, must be electrons, muons, protons,…
Annihilation cross sections of antiprotons and antineutrons on the proton between 50 and 400 MeV/c show Coulomb focusing below 200 MeV/c and almost no charge-dependence above 200 MeV/c. Similar comparisons for heavier targets are not…
