May 16, 2017 at 16:45 comment added user126422 @Aaron it could be a collision with a high energy photon (raising temperature does not have much meaning at this microscopic level). I do not know if collisions with another particle (such as a neutrino) would do the trick.

May 16, 2017 at 16:42 comment added garyp @FrodCube Whoops, once again I responded before thinking. I've deleted my comment.
May 16, 2017 at 16:40 comment added Aaron @WillyBillyWilliams different times thank you. I thought it was showing a proton flying towards a stationary proton. But in that case what would supply a proton with energy? Simply raising the temperature or a collision with something ?
May 16, 2017 at 16:24 comment added user126422 the second scenario (top picture) does not seem to involve two protons, just a proton and some energy (perhaps a high energy photon?). The 3 diagrams in that picture correspond each to a different time.

May 16, 2017 at 16:19 comment added FrodCube @garyp looking at the actual pictures I see no errors. The $p+p\to p+p+p+\bar{p}$ diagram is right and the meson thing makes sense if you consider it only as a part of a bigger interaction. There he only wants to explain that you can't free a quark from a hadron so he doesn't care to show you how you "break the bond" between the quarks.
May 16, 2017 at 16:01 comment added Aaron What examples are there of quark confinement and pair production
May 16, 2017 at 16:00 comment added Aaron What does happen when two protons collide?

May 16, 2017 at 15:56 comment added Aaron The diagram showing pair production should show two protons and anti protons. Not just 1 antiproton
May 16, 2017 at 15:54 comment added Aaron @FrodCube I have edited the question with the extract from my book. For all I can see that is what it's saying.

May 16, 2017 at 15:46 comment added FrodCube Are you sure about those processes? Neither of the two are possible the way you wrote them because of baryon number conservation.
