exchemist Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Brainee said: Is quark a particle? Yes and there are antiquarks. An antiproton is composed of 3 antiquarks, for instance. So whether you consider hadrons or the quarks that make them up, it comes to the same thing: they can annihilate with the appropriate antiparticle.
