Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of prime alternating +achiral knots. In the case of arborescent knots, we prove in +AAA Visibility Theorem 5.1, that the symmetry is visible on a certain projection (not necessarily minimal) and that it is realised by a homeomorphism of order 4. In the general case (arborescent or not), if the prime alternating knot has no minimal projection on which +achirality is visible, we prove that the order of +achirality is necessarily equal to 4.
