In 2008, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported being able to generate large quantities of this particle by shining their Titan laser at a one millimeter thick piece of gold. The then-recent discovery of this particle led Homi J. Bhabha to study his namesake scattering. Nondestructive probing of defects in solids can be achieved by studying the gamma rays emitted by the annihilation of this particle. (*) Glucose is substituted with fluorine-18 to create a tracer that acts as a source of this particle in one imaging technique. This particle was predicted to exist prior to its actual discovery by the allowance of certain valid negative energy solutions in Dirac’s equation. This particle is the smallest lepton in the Standard Model that has a positive charge. For 10 points, name this antiparticle that is the partner to the electron. ■END■
