Definitions

Physics.
- : an elementary particle having the same mass and spin as an electron but having a positive charge equal in magnitude to that of the electron's negative charge; the antiparticle of the electron.
Examples
Even humble bananas emit positrons, the electron’s antimatter counterpart.
Where electrons have negative electric charge, positrons have positive charge.
Physicists also resisted the positron, until it became difficult to ignore.
The neutron and positron were both found in laboratories that are small in comparison with today’s, and each discovery was attributed to a single physicist, relatively soon after the particles had been proposed.
In the 1930s, antimatter was such a leap that Dirac’s hesitation to propose the positron was understandable.
The uncertainty in the positron counts are huge at the high energy end of the AMS-02 results.
In fact, the data seem to show positron counts leveling off at high energy, but things are still pretty messy.
When the gamma rays enter the sleeve, they interact with that photon gas, annihilating into electron-positron pairs.
Another highly regarded method was PET, or positron emission tomography.
These units are the positron, the negatron, and the neutron.
The design of the electron brain had completely ignored the polarity of the positron.
As I am the only scholar in my field—the polarity of the positron—I have never been asked for information.
