Search for the text "APEX collaboration at Fermilab" on the following page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiproton
It seems to indicate after that text that an antiproton can turn into an electron and gamma ray. However, before that it says "300,000 yr." So is it saying that it will take that long for that to happen? Is there a faster way to create a "new" electron?
Hmm, it says "...antiproton-proton annihilation into electron-positron pair..." on the following page:
http://thesis.library.caltech.edu/3577/
Is that true; can you create a new electron from the annihilation of a proton?
Thanks,
Jake
