Annihilation

Annihilation logo #21000 Annihilation is defined as `total destruction` or `complete obliteration` of an object; having its root in the Latin nihil (nothing). A literal translation is `to make into nothing`. In physics, the word is used to denote the process that occurs when a subatomic particle collides with its respective antiparticle, such as an electron collidin...

Annihilation

Annihilation logo #10444A process in which a particle meets its corresponding antiparticle and both disappear. The energy appears in some other form, perhaps as a different particle and its antiparticle (and their energy), perhaps as many mesons, perhaps as a single neutral boson. The produced particles may be any combination allowed by conservation of energy and momentum and of all the charge types. ...

Annihilation

Annihilation logo #21217In physics, annihilation is the destruction of a particle and its antiparticle when they collide. The annihilation of an electron with a positron generates two or, very rarely, three photons of annihilation radiation.The annihilation of a nucleon with its antiparticle generates several pions.
