anti-electron

I would here stick to the letter,as it is true that a positron is an anti-electron, but in Italian the word "positrone" does exist indeed.
A little more context would help (how high is the scientific level of the text?), but using anti-electron stresses the fact that it is the anti-matter correspondant of the electron. Positron, on the other hand, underlines the fact it has a positive charge.
