Area (S-C) = 4*Pi*D(S-C)^2
= 4*Pi*4.49E10 meters = 1.22E15 squared meters
Power (S-C) = P(S) / A(S-C)
= 4E26 Watts / 1.22E15 squared meters = 3.28E11 Watts
Power (C) = P(S-C) * A(C)
= 3.28E11 Watts * 3.14E6 squared meters = 1.03E18 Watts
Power (E) = Cell Efficiency * P(C)
= 0.8 * 1.03E18 Watts = 8.24E17 Watts
Power (W) = (1 - Cell Efficiency) * P(C)
= 0.2 * 1.03E18 Watts = 2.06E17 Watts
Mass (A) = P(E) / c^2
= 8.24E17 / (2.988 m/s)^2 = 9.18 Kg*s
P(S) is the power of the orbited star
P(C) is the useful power gathered by the collector
r(D) is the radius of the orbit
r(C) is the radius of the collector (assumed to be circular)
µ is the efficiency of the collector cells
M(A) is the rate of antimatter production
c is the speed of light in a vacuum
P(C)= 0.25*P(S)*r(C)^2*r(D)^-2*µ
M(A)= P(C)*c^-2
All efficiencies other than µ are considered to be 1.0.
Area (S-C) = 4*Pi*D(S-C)^2
= 4*Pi*(4.49E10 meters)^2 = 2.53E22 squared meters
Power (S-C) = P(S) / A(S-C)
= 4E26 Watts / 1.22E15 squared meters = 1.58E4 Watts
Power (C) = P(S-C) * A(C)
= 3.28E11 Watts * 3.14E6 squared meters = 4.96E10 Watts
Power (E) = Cell Efficiency * P(C)
= 0.8 * 1.03E18 Watts = 3.97E10 Watts
Power (W) = (1 - Cell Efficiency) * P(C)
= 0.2 * 1.03E18 Watts = 9.92E9 Watts
Mass (A) = P(E) / c^2
= 8.24E17 / (2.988 m/s)^2 = 4.42E-7 Kg*s

P(C) = 0.25 * 4E26 Watts * 20KM^2 * 4.49E7 KM^-2 * 0.8
P(C) = 1.59E13 Watts
M(A) = 1.59E13 * 2.998E8 c^-2
M(A) = 1.777854E-4 Kg*s
