English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

In the more distant future, extremely cold antiprotons should make it possible to produce and study antihydrogen, the antimatter atom formed by a positron in orbit around an antiproton. (Positrons, or antielectrons, are produced naturally in the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
CONT

L'antihydrogène est un atome constitué entièrement d'antiparticules : alors que l'hydrogène ordinaire se compose d'un proton positif et d'un électron négatif en orbite autour de ce proton, l'atome d'antihydrogène possède en son centre un «antiproton» négatif lié à un «positon» positif.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

DEF

El átomo de antimateria formado por un positrón que rota en torno a un antiprotón.

OBS

Los positrones, o antielectrones, se producen de modo natural en la desintegración radiactiva de núcleos atómicos.
