So, what anti-element is this anti matter? Anti-helium?
Antiprotons. So basically an anti-hydrogen ion.
Anti-dueterium would need the anti-proton to be bound to an anti-neutron (with an orbiting positron if you wanted neutral anti-deuterium)
No, it is not deuterium. The thing that differentiates deuterium from "normal" hydrogen is a neutron, while here, we are only talking of antiprotons (without antineutrons or positrons).
