Abstract

The main objective of the present work is to investigate the properties of plasmas created by injecting a thermalized beam of antiprotons in two types of media. The first is hydrogen, deuterium, or tritium atoms localized in palladium crystals. The second medium is composed of protons, deuterons, or tritons localized in a magnetic cavity. Particularly, it is demonstrated that huge amounts of energy are released in both cases which could be used as fuels for space shuttle engines. A novel mathematical scheme is employed to calculate the energy yields in real space at different incident energies of the antiprotons.

Highlights

With the discovery of antiprotons (p) by Chamberlain et al [1] at Fermilab in the fifties of the preceding century, the ultimate proof of possible formation of antiparticles in laboratory was rigorously confirmed

We obtain the calculations of the nonlinear analysis of the deformed kdv equation and the energy released of the formed plasma

Summary

Introduction

With the discovery of antiprotons (p) by Chamberlain et al [1] at Fermilab in the fifties of the preceding century, the ultimate proof of possible formation of antiparticles in laboratory was rigorously confirmed. The interest in the formation of cold antiprotons was demonstrated through the development of the “Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR)” at CERN [4], in the early eighties of the preceding century which led in 1995 to the forma-. 14 Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology. Other interesting experiments were performed after the development of the ATRAP machine at CERN ([10] [11] [12]) most of them seeking on the one hand, the production of large number of antihydrogen atoms, protoniums and protonium ions [13]. Several applications of matter-antimatter interactions at low energy were explored ([15] [16] [17])
