An antiproton beam is a confined beam of antiprotons.
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")
