Can Antimatter react with Higgs?

[salil87]

Since Particles react with the Higgs Field to gain mass, can't the antiparticles react with it too to gain mass.
Thanks

Not only can, they should.

With the usual caveat of course - IF we figured them out correctly. However, since you refer to the Higgs as currently defined by theory then, within that same theory, the answer is - yep.

The Higgs field is believed to be a scalar field, meaning the Higgs should be a spin zero boson and indiscriminatively confer mass to all fermions. For discussion, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6660
