Anti-atoms #25

Closed DavidSagan closed 2 months ago

DavidSagan commented 4 months ago

Needed is a way to define antiatoms. My suggestion is to use an "anti_" prefix like "anti_He" rather than something like "He_bar" as not intuitive. Something like "antiHe" looks too jumbled.

Also a function antiparticle(particle) is helpful.

Note: The massof function when calculating the mass needs to take into account that for an anti-atom the nucleus is surrounded by positrons and not electrons.
