If matter and antiMatter will annihilate each other after coming into contact,how can a meson come into existence?
thanks
thanks
Shyan said:You mean for example just a pair of up quark and antiquark will annihilate each other?
Or the above annihilation is the most probable?
Shyan said:No,I meant,Do you mean that only quark-antiquark pairs which of the same type annihilate?The example being up-antiup quark pair.
Shyan said:Your post was just disappointing iam.You really could explain.
Shyan said:Its my first time encountering one of them and also hearing your second sentence.What does it mean?Is it a proverb or idiom or sth?

For instance, a proton is electrically positive whereas an antiproton is electrically negative. Gravity affects matter and antimatter the same way because gravity is not a charged property and a matter particle has the same mass as its antiparticle.
smith345 said:antiparticles are produced in pairs in high-energy proton-antiproton collisions. This computer representation shows the decay products of the short-lived candidate particle produced in a collision. The decay products are used to identify the B_s mesons produced in the collision.

Matter-antiMatter annihilation is a process in which a particle of matter and a particle of antimatter collide, resulting in their mutual destruction and the release of energy in the form of photons.
Antimatter is a type of matter composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as their corresponding particles but opposite electrical charge. When a particle of antimatter and a particle of matter come into contact, they annihilate each other.
Mesons are subatomic particles composed of a quark and an antiquark. They have an integer spin and are classified as bosons. Mesons are unstable and decay into other particles after a short period of time.
In the process of matter-antiMatter annihilation, mesons can be produced as a result of the collision between a particle of matter and a particle of antimatter. These mesons may then decay into other particles, releasing energy in the process.
Matter-antiMatter annihilation is an important concept in physics because it helps us understand the fundamental nature of matter and antimatter, and provides insights into the behavior of subatomic particles. It also has practical applications, such as in medical imaging and radiation therapy.
