Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Anti particle:

  1. Every particle has a corresponding antiparticle.
  2. An antiparticle is a particle with mass, spin, charge, and all other properties.
  3. They are the inverse of the sign of any particular elementary particle.

Step 2: Anti-Particle Of Proton:

  1. Antiproton is a proton antiparticle with a mass of 938.257 MeV and a negative charge.
  2. Particle accelerators are used to generate these antiprotons.
  3. The accelerator operates at such a high speed that the particles reach the speed of light, resulting in the generation of antiprotons.
  4. However, when these antiprotons come into contact with the particle accelerator's walls, they decay.
