==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
An [[antibaryon]] is a [[hadron]] consisting of three [[antiquarks]].

===About Antibaryons===

*The [[antiparticle]] counterpart to [[baryon]]s like [[proton]]s and [[neutron]]s.
*[[Antibaryon]]s have opposite charge and quantum numbers to their corresponding [[baryon]]s.
*Studied in high-energy physics experiments to understand [[matter]]-[[antimatter]] symmetry.
===Examples===

*The [[antiproton]] (composed of two anti-up [[quark]]s and one anti-down [[quark]]) is an [[antibaryon]].
*[[Antibaryon]]s are produced in [[Particle Accelerator|particle colliders]].
