antiparticle | particle | uncertainty principle | Particles with identical mass and spin as those of ordinary matter, but with opposite charge. Antimatter has been produced experimentally, but little of it is found in nature. Why this should be so is one of the questions that must be answered by any adequate theory of the early universe. | ||||||||||
baryon | fermion | Fermi-Dirac statistics | 3 | 1/2 or 3/2 | exclusion principle | Heavy subatomic particle composed of 3 quarks. | |||||||
neutral particle | electric or magnetic fields | particle | uncertainty principle | A particle with zero charge | 0 | ||||||||
radioactive particle | the total energy produced when the particle decays | particle | uncertainty principle | the products produced immediately after decay | A particle which can produce harmful radioactivity directly through its decay or by interacting with other particles. | The average time in which a particle decays | |||||||
antineutron | electric or magnetic fields | the total energy produced when the particle decays | Fermi-Dirac statistics | 3 | radioactive particle | 1/2 or 3/2 | uncertainty principle | the products produced immediately after decay | The antiparticle of a neutron. A neutron and antineutron both have the same mass and zero electric charge, but can be differentiated by their interactions: a neutron and an antineutron can annihilate into gamma rays, while two neutrons cannot. | 0 | The average time in which a particle decays | neutron |
