Best Answer

The true name of the so called (by non specialists) god particle is the Higgs boson; this particle was predicted but not discovered until now.

The Higgs boson is not the equivalent of the antimatter.

What is an antilambda?

An antilambda is the antimatter equivalent of a lambda particle.


What is produced when a particle of a matter and a particle of antimatter colide?

A tremendous release of energy in the form of an explosion.


If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?

Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.


What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?

This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.


What is the opposite of protons?

Protons are particles with a positive electric charge. As of now, science has concluded that there is no proton opposite (or, as we call them, 'antimatter particle') residing in the nucleus. However, some theoretical physicists theorize that the antimatter particle for a proton could be a subatomic particle called a 'negatron'. A neutron, incidentally, is neutral, and has no overall charge, and is not the opposite of a proton, contrary to assumed mass belief.


Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle These types of particles are referred to as?

Anti-matter. Antimatter.


Is there any matter called 'GOD'?

The hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson is also known as the "god particle", pressumably because of its important role.


Is there any proof that antimatter exists?

Yes. Antiparticles are regularly produced and observed in particle accelerators.


What theoretical subatomic particle is called the the god particle?

This is the Higgs boson; now (July 2014) this discovery is confirmed.


What atomic particle interacts between atoms to form a chemical bond?

Electrons. (Or positrons if you're talking about antimatter)


Who is the founder of Antimatter?

The founder of antimatter is considered to be the physicist called Paul Dirac in 1928-1930. He created a mathematical equation which predicted the existence of antiworld made out of antimatter.


How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?

That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
