annihilationIn physics, a reaction in which a particle and its antiparticle (see antimatter) collide and disappear. The annihilation releases energy equal to the original mass m multiplied by the square of the speed of light c, or E = mc2, in accordance with Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity. The energy can appear directly as gamma rays or can convert back to particles and antiparticles (see pair production). annihilation [ə‚nī·ə′lā·shən] (particle physics) A process in which an antiparticle and a particle combine and release their rest energies in other particles.
