antimatter production methods

Antimatter is produced primarily through high-energy processes in particle accelerators, where particles like protons are accelerated to near-light speeds and then smashed into targets. These collisions generate energy that can create particle-antiparticle pairs, such as electron-positron pairs. The antimatter particles are then separated and collected using magnetic fields. This process requires enormous energy input and precise control, making antimatter production extremely challenging and costly. Currently, antimatter is mainly produced for scientific research, like studying fundamental physics, rather than practical use due to its rarity and high production costs.
