Sentence examples for antielectron from inspiring English sources

A connection would obviously exist if it can be shown, for example, that a proton is capable of decaying into a positron (an antielectron) plus electrically neutral particles.

Indeed, in some sense the proton (a baryon) can even be said to be merely the "excited" version of an antielectron (an "antilepton").

By the end of 1932, however, Carl Anderson in the United States had discovered the first antiparticle the positron, or antielectron.

The production of atoms of antihydrogen, which consists of an antielectron bound to an antiproton, provided an important tool for looking for any differences between particles and their antiparticles.

One year later, to the astonishment of physicists, this particle the antielectron, or positron was accidentally discovered in cosmic rays by Carl Anderson of the United States.

This is known because, as the universe aged and expanded, the radiation temperature would have dropped and each antiproton and each antineutron would have annihilated with a proton and a neutron to yield two gamma rays; and later each antielectron would have done the same with an electron to give two more gamma rays.

The first one observed in nature was the antielectron, not the antiproton.

In any case, after proton-antiproton and neutron-antineutron annihilation but before electron-antielectron annihilation, it is possible to calculate that for every excess neutron there were about five excess protons in thermodynamic equilibrium with one another through neutrino and antineutrino interactions at a temperature of about 1010 K.

When the universe reached an age of a few seconds, the temperature would have dropped significantly below 1010 K, and electron-antielectron annihilation would have occurred, liberating the neutrinos and antineutrinos to stream freely through the universe.

First, and most important, is his work in correcting the inaccuracies of earlier formulations of quantum electrodynamics, the theory that explains the interactions between electromagnetic radiation (photons) and charged subatomic particles such as electrons and positrons (antielectrons).

Billions of electrons looping around in one direction were, at discrete intervals, made to cross paths with billions of antielectrons — or positrons — moving the opposite way.
