exchemist Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Can the photon have it's antiparticle ? No, the photon is its own antiparticle because it has no charge that can be reversed to define an antiparticle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC426913 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Can confirm. A photon is its own antiparticle. Antimatter-antimatter interactions give off the same photons as matter-matter interactions. and matter-antimatter interactions, while we're at it.

Vmedvil2 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) All Bosons are their own antiparticle because they are missing a property which is zero that they would have a antiparticle across which they mediate, which a photon is a electromagnetic propagator which basically means it is the electromagnetism's Boson which has no antiparticle besides itself Gravitons and Gluons are the same way along with Z bosons.
