On the existence of antiparticles
Abstract
Without assuming the existence of interpolating fields, it is shown that any particle in a massive quantum field theory possesses a unique antiparticle and carries parastatistics of finite order. This closes a gap in the hitherto existing theoretical argument leading to particle statistics and to the existence of antiparticles.
