European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 30, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday november 30, 1988 the stars and stripes Page 27 think tank urges joint research plan to study antimatter Santa Monica Calif. A a $400 million investment could help scientists harness antimatter perhaps bad ing to faster spacecraft and taller ways la treat cancer and select flaws in com plex machines a Rand corp. Study says. We Are on the threshold of important advances in the Basic science of ant Maiier and its practical applications. Bui As tantalizingly near As that May be the rewards cannot be realized without e program such As we Are advocating said Bruno Augenstein a physicist at the think tank. The Rand report stems from a i9s7meeting of so experts on antimatter. They detailed experiments needed if the Yare 10 harness antimatter. A Genslein determined such research would Cost about $400 million Over 10 years. Recognizing Federal budget deficits the air Force sponsored report supped Short of urging the expenditure although it said such spending would be warranted. Rand said the government universities and Industry should spend $30 Mil lion jointly Over three years to modify an atom smasher to produce 1 quadrillion antimatter particles annually and to develop devices that can store the particles called Antiproton for practical uses. Antimatter has a very  Impact upon the general Public. People immediately think of Star trek " but the exotic substance really exists said physicist Michael Nielo of the los Alamos National Laboratory in new Moti co. " for each Type of panicle in Mailer there is a corresponding particle of Ami matter that has the same mass but a opposite electric charge. Prolong arc positively charged particles in atoms of Mut Ter Antiprotons Are their negatively charged antimatter counterparts. If you had a twin brother made out of antimatter you would literally annihilate each other in a big explosion of Light and Energy if you came into Contact said Nizio who co edited a Book of tech Nical papers from the 1987 conference. To today superstar Lonan to wednesday s programs 0600 Abc nighty howl such explosions could be harnessed As rocket fuel although that would be the most difficult practical application to develop Augenstein and Nicoto said. Antimatter is a promising rocket fuel because a tiny amount can produce a much Energy As a huge tank of chemical rocket fuel so you Only have to carry a Small amount of antimatter into orbit to carry you to Mars Nieto said. Antimatter powered spacecraft would be lighter faster and Able to carry Hea vier payloads further than existing Rock Eti Augenstein said. If the 1400 million is spent ant pro Lons could be available in a decade for radiation therapy for cancer patients he said. Unlike existing methods Antiproton beams could be targeted so precisely the particles would destroy Only a tumor with minimal damage to intervening tis sue Augenstein  with a rays cat scans and magnetic resonance imaging Antiprotons should produce More accurate easier to incr prot pictures of the inside of the human body to help doctors diagnose can cers and other diseases Augenstein said. Nieto said Anli protons also would expose paid anti to much less radiation. Pictures made using Antiprotons instead of a rays also should make it 1,000 time faster to detect and Weld cracks or other flaws in Industrial materials and machines such As air plane parts rocket nozzles and Turbine Blades Augenstein said. Nieto said a reliable source of Antiprotons also would help physicists study the fundamental properties of matter and antimatter and the fundamental forces which act upon  the report said Antiprotons could be mass produced by modifying an existing Proton accelerator either at Fermi National accelerator Laboratory in Illinois or at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island . Three existing atom smashers or parti Cle accelerators now create Antiprotons but each yields trillions of he particles each year far fewer than scientists need.
