The Mystery of Anti-Matter at Fermi Lab

AI Thread Summary
Fermi Lab synthesizes antimatter, which is stored in a vacuum pipe to prevent reactions with regular matter that would produce light. Antimatter typically reacts with matter almost immediately, leading to bursts of radiation. Researchers analyze these radiation bursts to understand the outcomes of the collisions. The discussion highlights the challenges of containing antimatter safely for study. Understanding antimatter is crucial for advancing knowledge in particle physics.

at Fermi lab they create anti-matter or I guess they don’t create it but they synthesize it , where do they keep it so it doesn't react with regular matter and produce light.

Circulating in a vacuum pipe.
 
It's my understanding that the antimatter does react with matter almost immediately in most cases. The researchers study the resultant bursts of radiation to learn what was produced in the collisions.
 
i see , thanks for the responses.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
