Lesson: Positrons Physics

Students will be able to

• recall that the positron is the antiparticle of the electron,
• recall that the electron is the antiparticle of the positron,
• recall the relative and absolute charges of the positron,
• recall that an antiparticle is a particle with an opposite charge but the same mass,
• recall that when a particle and antiparticle collide, they will annihilate, producing photons,
• recall that a particle–antiparticle pair can be produced by high-energy photons,
• know the symbols for a positron.
