Gamma radioactive decay of anti-particles

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In the discussion regarding gamma radioactive decay of anti-particles, it is established that photons, including gamma rays, do not possess antiparticles. Therefore, when anti-particles undergo gamma radioactive decay, they produce gamma rays rather than anti-gamma rays. Additionally, at a distance, the decay of particles and anti-particles cannot be differentiated through spectral analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gamma radiation and its properties
  • Knowledge of particle physics and anti-particles
  • Familiarity with spectral analysis techniques

Hello;

Just needed to clarify something. When anti-particles undergo gamma radioactive decay, is a gamma ray produced, or an anti-gamma ray? Or something completely different?

Thanks.

Photons (including gamma rays) do not have antiparticles. At a distance particle decay cannot be distinguished from antiparticle decay by spectral analysis.
