1. a hypothetical particle that would be the antiparticle of a positron
Usage: physics; theoretical

Examples

• The physicist proposed the existence of a negaton as the antimatter counterpart to the positron.
• In theoretical particle physics, a negaton would carry a negative charge opposite to that of a positron.
• The research team investigated whether negatons could be produced in high-energy collisions.
• Scientists debated the properties that a negaton might possess if it existed.
• The concept of a negaton remains largely theoretical in modern physics.
