Abstract

Associated with every type of particle there is an ANTIMATTER particle with the opposite quantum numbers. For example, the positron (charge +1) is the antiparticle of the electron (charge ‑1), and the antiproton (charge ‑1, baryon number ‑1) is the antiparticle of the proton (charge +1, baryon number +1). Particles can annihilate with their antiparticles into radiation, and particle-antiparticle ...
