We are generally taught that an anti-neutron is just like a neutron except for the magnetic moment. That is, they can be distinguished even though they have no charge. So, could an anti-neutron participate in forming a normal atomic nucleus? That is, would they stick to protons? After all, the pions are the same, so would it be attracted to other nucleons, or be repelled by them, or is there some reason why they would ignore each other?
Re: Would an anti-neutron stick to a proton via the strong force?
