One question from a non-professional: If anti-matter is generated but disappears in such a short time, it being presumably annihilated by 'conventional' matter, a fairly large amount of energy should be generated that should be measured, allowing for the estimation of how much anti-matter was present. Is all this recorded as expected in actual experiments? I assume that the amount is a few atoms, and the energy might be small despite the x c^2 conversion into energy. Is this correct? Was just curious.
thank you for being able to attend this fascinating lecture 👍
