A negatron is the antimatter brother of the proton. It has the same mass, but a negative charge.

Ans #2: After studying subatomic particles for a time, it is common to hear students, instead of saying "no" say "negatron" as a portmanteau of "negat(ive)" + "(elect)ron.

It can also be used to unambiguously describe an electron so as to differentiate it from a positron, which is an electron's (negatron's) antimatter counterpart. There is no evidence that it has been used to describe an antimater proton. See http://www.thefreedictionary.com/negatron
