antiparticlenoun(particle physics) A subatomic particle corresponding to another particle with the same mass, spin and mean lifetime but with charge, parity, strangeness and other quantum numbers flipped in sign; a particle that has a reversed world line to another.
gamma raysnounVery high frequency (and therefore very high energy) electromagnetic radiation emitted as a consequence of radioactivity.
hadronsnoun(particle physics) A composite particle that comprises two or more quarks held together by the strong force and (consequently) can interact with other particles via said force; a meson or a baryon.
collidernoun(physics) Any of several forms of particle accelerator in which two opposing beams of particles collide.
subatomic particlenoun(particle physics) Any of many units of matter smaller than an atom.
particle acceleratornounA device that accelerates electrically charged particles to extremely high speeds, for the purpose of inducing high energy reactions or producing high energy radiation.
particle beamnoun(physics) A beam of atoms, ions or subatomic particles that has been accelerated by some device and collimated by magnets and/or electrostatic lenses
