Annihilation reaction is when you take matter and anti-matter and try to put them together and they cancel each other out. Try putting an electron and a positron together. What happens? They will cancel each other out.
The end product of matter-antimatter annihilation is energy in the form of photons (light particles) or other subatomic particles.
When a nucleus of U-235 or PU-239 fissions, a small amount of mass is lost and appears as energy, by virtue of E = mc2. This I would call annihilation, not the actual fissioning itself which gives rise to two other nuclei.
Annihilation is like turning a building into ashes, completely destroying it. Obliteration is like erasing a drawing from a piece of paper, leaving no trace behind.
An analogy to describe the relationship between annihilation and obliteration could be a forest fire and a bulldozer. Annihilation is like the complete destruction caused by a raging fire, while obliteration is more like the thorough and deliberate clearing of an area by a bulldozer. Both result in something being eradicated, but the methods and outcomes differ in intensity and precision.
The annihilation operator in quantum mechanics is significant because it allows for the removal of a quantum of energy from a system. This operator plays a key role in describing the behavior of particles and fields in quantum theory, particularly in the context of quantum field theory. It helps in understanding the creation and annihilation of particles, as well as in calculating various physical quantities in quantum systems.
Celebration of Annihilation was created in 1996.
Total Annihilation happened in 1997.
"Annihilation" by Jeff VanderMeer has for around 195 pages.
No, a positron cannot react with a neutron in any kind of annihilation reaction. An electron and a positron can, and the same with a neutron and an anti-neutron, but it does not occur between a positron and a neutron.
