When it does so, each particle of matter produced is accompanied by an appropriate antiparticle.
CMB, and the number of subatomic particles in the universe, suggest that for every billion mutual annihilations, a solitary particle of matter survived.
ECONOMIST: Particle physics makes sense, but it assumes too much
In particular, every type of particle of which matter is composed has an equal and opposite antiparticle composed of antimatter.
"If a dark matter particle comes in and hits the argon, the recoiling atom gets a kick of energy and it quickly tries to get rid of it, " says Dr Ghag.
BBC: Dark Matter: Experiment to shed light on dark particles
We think dark matter is a particle too, it's just an odd form of matter in the fact that we don't perceive it very readily.

Neutrino astronomy is hard because neutrinos (a type of electrically neutral elementary particle) are rarely absorbed by matter.
ECONOMIST: This year, the Nobel authorities have shown a deft touch
"There's a huge synergy there, in astronomers trying to find the influence of dark matter by mapping stars and galaxies and large structures in the universe, and particle physicists trying to discover the source of that influence of dark matter through subatomic particles here on Earth, " said Jason Kalirai, deputy project scientist for the telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Dark matter would be this lightest particle, called a weakly interacting massive particle, or WIMP.
Astronomers said they think that some matter escapes black holes through particle jets shooting from the poles of giant collapsed stars.
By everything, what I mean is every possible configuration of that particle (wave) and the surround matter is expressed, perhaps simultaneously, perhaps in series.
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer was designed to search for dark matter by collecting high energy radiation known as cosmic rays, and then sort through it looking for a certain class of particle believed to be created after two bits of dark matter collide in space and destroy each other.
FORBES: Experiment May Have Found Dark Matter, The Key To A Cosmic Mystery
Their work, for example, has helped to focus the search for the Higgs particle, the entity which, according to current theory, gives matter its mass.
The Standard Model of Particle Physics describes all the known properties of nature (with the exception of dark matter).
He placed a particle (including different versions of the same entities, and using particles that describe matter and those that describe forces) on most of the 248 points of E8.
