Concept information
Preferred term
antiparticle
Definition(s)
- Antiparticles are counterparts of ordinary subatomic particles, which have the same mass and spin but opposite charge, magnetic moment, and any other internal attributes (including lepton, baryon, strangeness, and charm quantum numbers). Each particle has a corresponding antiparticle, although certain purely neutral particles, such as photons and π° mesons, are their own antiparticles. The antiparticles of the electron, proton, and neutron are the positron, antiproton, and antineutron, respectively.
