According to the article Alien Antimatter Crashes into Earth e:
More than 60 years ago, future Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow predicted that if an
antineutrino – the antimatter answer to the nearly massless neutrino – collided with
electron, it could produce a cascade of other particles. The "Glashow resonance
phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,0
%3D
times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth.
Let's compare this event to an ordinary baseball with a mass of 146 g. Please use three
significant figures in your calculations.
