Key Stage 5
Meaning
An antibaryon is a hadron consisting of three antiquarks.
About Antibaryons
- The antiparticle counterpart to baryons like protons and neutrons.
- Antibaryons have opposite charge and quantum numbers to their corresponding baryons.
- Studied in high-energy physics experiments to understand matter-antimatter symmetry.
Examples
- The antiproton (composed of two anti-up quarks and one anti-down quark) is an antibaryon.
- Antibaryons are produced in particle colliders.
