Problem

At what minimum kinetic energy of a positron can its collision with a stationary electron cause the appearance of a proton-antiproton pair: e+ + e− →\rightarrow p + p? How many times is this energy greater than the minimum kinetic energy of the positron, which generates a proton-antiproton pair when it collides with an electron?
