ValnaoPlease drive carefully: scientists plan to transport volatile antimatter for first time
Paranoid FactoidA few thousand antimatter charged particles could be used as an implosive trigger for a fusion bomb.
you’re off by something like 15-18 orders of magnitude
This is old, but you get the idea. See section 3.5.
Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons: Military effectiveness and collateral effects
The paper begins with a general introduction and update to Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons (FGNW), and then addresses some particularly important military aspects on which there has been only limited public discussion so far. These aspects concern the unique military characteristics of FGNWs which make them radically different from both nuclear weapons based on previous-generation nuclear-explosives and from conventional weapons based on chemical-explosives: yields in the 1 to 100 tons range, greatly enhanced coupling to targets, possibility to drive powerful shaped-charge jets and forged fragments, enhanced prompt radiation effects, reduced collateral damage and residual radioactivity, etc.
it’s not a twenty year old paper, it’s a twenty two year old preprint which has all the reliability of a blog post. in 22 years, you can get born, complete all education up to masters degree and write a real paper that would be accepted in a real physics journal. the reason it’s not accepted for all these years is it is packed full of crackpot nonsense. it cites Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons ffs
