How to Get the Particles

Electrons: Heating a metal causes electrons to be ejected. A television, like cathode ray tubes, uses this mechanism.



Protons: They can easily be obtained by ionizing hydrogen.


Antiparticles: To get antiparticles, first have energetic particles hit a target. Then pairs of particles and antiparticles will be created via virtual photons or gluons. Magnetic fields can be used to separate them.
