    Graduate How Are Positrons Created in Particle Accelerators?

    Cool. Could anyone tell me how many electrons produce how many antiparticle pairs (theoretically)?

    Graduate Changing Particle Spin: How to Change & Detect Orientation

    Okay, so I was looking at some ideas of storage based on making electrons spin "up" or "down" to store binary data, and I began wondering two things: 1) How does one change the spin "orientation" (for lack of a better word) of a particle? 2) How does one detect the spin "orientation" of a...

    Graduate Spin of Particle and Antiparticle: Same or Different?

    Clarification I'm not really that far in physics (more of an applied guy--and a high school junior), so maybe this question is obvious. Does that mean that if I were to change the spin of one particle, the other would change as well?
