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. | |||||||
charged particle | particle | uncertainty principle | A particle with non-zero charge | non-zero | electric or magnetic fields | ||||||||
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 | |||||||
antiproton | 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 proton, identical in mass and spin but of opposite (negative) charge. | -1 | The average time in which a particle decays | proton | electric or magnetic fields |
