The "doomsday machine" fires a pure antiproton beam.

An antiproton beam is a confined beam of antiprotons. A laser capable of emiting a beam of pure antimatter.

Encountered in 2267, the "doomsday machine" used a beam of pure antiprotons (an incredible scientific concept, at the time) as its primary weapon, capable of destroying whole planets. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine")

The Jem'Hadar used a type of antiproton beam to detect the USS Defiant through its Romulan cloaking device. The Cardassians later used this technique when the Defiant was hijacked by the Maquis in 2371. However, Thomas Riker, commanding the captured vessel, was able to negate the beam by adjusting the resonance frequency of the cloaking device. (DS9: "The Search, Part I", "Defiant")

In an alternate timeline, Doctor Phlox used a focused antiproton beam to eliminate interspatial parasites in the brain of Jonathan Archer. (ENT: "Twilight")
