ANTIMATTER

Antimatter is a substance composed of subatomic particles that

have the mass, electric charge, and magnetic moment of the electrons,
protons, and neutrons of ordinary matter but for which the electric
charge and magnetic moment are opposite in sign. The antimatter
particles corresponding to electrons, protons, and neutrons are called
positrons (e+), antiprotons (p), and antineutrons (n); collectively they
are referred to as antiparticles. The electrical properties of antimatter
being opposite to those of ordinary matter, the positron has a positive
charge and the antiproton a negative charge; the antineutron, though
electrically neutral, has a magnetic moment opposite in sign to that of
the neutron. Matter and antimatter cannot coexist at close range for
more than a small fraction of a second because they collide with and
annihilate each other, releasing large quantities of energy in the form of
gamma rays or elementary particles.
The concept of antimatter first arose in theoretical analysis of the
duality between positive and negative charge. The work of P.A.M. Dirac
on the energy states of the electron implied the existence of a particle
identical in every respect but one—that is, with positive instead of
negative charge. Such a particle, called the positron, is not to be found
in ordinary stable matter. However, it was discovered in 1932 among
particles produced in the interactions of cosmic rays in matter and thus
provided experimental confirmation of Dirac’s theory.
