Antiparticle

Antiparticle logo #21000 Corresponding to most kinds of particles, there is an associated antiparticle with the same mass and opposite charge (including electric charge). For example, the antiparticle of the electron is the positively charged electron, or positron, which is produced naturally in certain types of radioactive decay. The laws of nature are very nearly symmet...

antiparticle

antiparticle logo #21001(an´tĭ-pahr″tĭ-kәl) either of a pair of elementary particles that have electric charges and magnetic moments of opposite sign and are the same in all other properties, such as mass, lifetime, and spin; an example is the electron and the positron. Every particle has an antiparticle. When antiparticl...

Antiparticle

Antiparticle logo #10444For every fermion type there is another fermion type that has exactly the same mass but the opposite value of all other charges (quantum numbers). This is called the antiparticle. For example, the antiparticle of an electron is a particle of positive electric charge called the positron. Bosons also have antiparticles except for those that have zero value for all charges, for example a photon or a composite boson made from a quark and its corresponding antiquark. In this case there is no distinct…...

Antiparticle

Antiparticle logo #20687A subatomic particle with the same-size properties as those of the particle although some may have the opposite sign. The positron is the antiparticle of the electron.Bosons also have antiparticles except for those that have zero value for all charges, for example a photon or a composite boson made from a quark and its corresponding antiquark. In t...

antiparticle

antiparticle logo #21221In nuclear physics, a particle corresponding in mass and properties to a given elementary particle but with the opposite electrical charge, magnetic properties, or coupling to other fundamental forces. For example, an electron carries a negative charge whereas its antiparticle, the positron, carries a positive one. When a particle and its antiparti...

Antiparticle

Antiparticle logo #21322A particle and its antiparticle have a number of opposite properties.If they have charge, then these will be opposite. For example themuon is negatively charged and the anti-muon is positively charged.However the neutrino and antineutrino are both uncharged, but are neverthelessare different (they have a property called lepton number, which isoppos...

antiparticle

antiparticle logo #21199a particle all of whose properties, as mass, spin, or charge, have the same magnitude as but, where appropriate, the opposite sign of a specific elementary particle; neutral pions, photons, and gravitons are considered to be their own antiparticles:Cf. antimatter, annihilation (def. 3). The positron is the antiparticle of the electron.
