Energy Difference: Antimatter vs Matter

[joychandra]

Suppose an antimatter at lower energy(K.E) collides with a matter in higher energy then what will be the output.

two gamma rays with different energy..

you can always transform it to the centre of momentum frame, so a positron impinging an electron at rest in lab-frame, will result in two back-to-back gamma rays in their centre of mass frame, which you then transform back to the lab frame. Simple relativistic kinematics problem.

When an antimatter particle, which has the same mass as its matter counterpart but opposite charge, collides with matter, they annihilate each other and release a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. This is because the energy difference between matter and antimatter is significant. Matter and antimatter have equal but opposite energies, meaning that when they come into contact, they completely cancel each other out and release all of their energy.

In the scenario described, if an antimatter particle at lower energy collides with matter at higher energy, the output will depend on the specific energies and masses of the particles involved. If the antimatter particle has a significantly lower energy and the matter particle has a much higher energy, the resulting output will likely be a large release of energy in the form of gamma rays. This is because the energy difference between the two particles is greater, leading to a more powerful annihilation reaction.

However, if the energy difference between the particles is not as significant, the output may not be as intense. For example, if both particles have similar energies, the annihilation may result in the release of smaller amounts of energy and other particles, such as neutrinos.

Overall, the output of a collision between matter and antimatter is highly dependent on the specific energies and masses of the particles involved. But one thing is certain - the annihilation of matter and antimatter always results in a release of energy due to their equal but opposite energies.
