Neutrons can be contained in a magnetic bottle, even if they don't last long in isolation. Presumably the same is true for antineutrons, although I don't know how hard it would be to slow them with magnetic fields...
- jessriedel 8y agoYea, thanks for mentioning. I believe those bottles only work when the neutrons are already at very slow speeds. They exploit the strong force and the residual electromagnetic "handle" neutrons have by virtue of being built from charged components (quarks), which leave them with a magnetic dipole moment.
