A beam of electrons passes through a single slit and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical slit. If the electrons and protons have the same speed, which beam experience the greatest amount of diffraction?

In electromagnetism, electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles.Both most times stay together in a flow like the beam.Often too they have the same speed.The greatest diffraction depends on the other charges within their path of movement.If in a more positively charged environment, then electrons will be least diffracted since, the positively charged protons will experience the greatest diffraction since like charges repel each other according to law of physics.
