Question:

In the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, electrons and positrons circulate in opposite directions with kinetic energies of 6.0 GeV each. When an electron collides with a positron and the two annihilate, one possible (though unlikely) outcome is the production of one or more proton-antiproton pairs. What is the maximum possible number of proton-antiproton pairs that could be formed?
