b) In the ALPHA antihydrogen experiment at CERN, the antiprotons travel tothe experiment down a beam pipe. We need to reduce their energy so we can combinethem with positrons to make antihydrogen. The antiprotons are introduced to a regionwith a 1 kV potential difference between the ends. How much energy is lost by eachantiproton in the beam? How much energy would an alpha particle (a bare heliumnucleus) gain if it was accelerated through this potential difference? Why does theantiproton lose energy but the alpha particle gains energy when in a region with sucha potential difference across it?
