The Origin of the Positron ( e+ )

In 1928, Paul Dirac, theorized about the anti-matter compliment to the electron (e-),

the positron (e+).

In 1932, Carl David Anderson, discovered the positron, at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL).

in 'The Cloud Chamber experiment', he photographed the first positron. -19                                   -31     The charge was found to be, 1.602x10  C (Coulombs) and the mass was, 9.1x10  kgs (kilograms).
