Unlocking the Secrets of Antimatter: A journey through low-energy antimatter studies at CERN
Unlocking the Secrets of Antimatter: A journey through low-energy antimatter studies at CERN The existence of antimatter is a fundamental aspect of our Universe and is predicted by the laws of quantum physics and symmetry principles. However, the theory does not match the experimental observations. According to our models, we would expect to have a

ALPHA publishes first measurements of quantum effects in antimatter
ALPHA publishes first measurements of quantum effects in antimatter The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has reported the first measurements of fine structure effects and Lamb shift in the energy structure of antihydrogen that provide another test of comparison between antimatter and ordinary matter. The results, described in a paper published in Nature, show that these

PUMA: Exploring exotic nuclear phenomena with antimatter
PUMA: Exploring exotic nuclear phenomena with antimatter PUMA is a new experiment proposed at both the CERN AD and ISOLDE facilities, that would for the first time transport antiprotons trapped at AD/ELENA to ISOLDE, by carrying them in a trap loaded onto a truck. The antiprotons would then be used for nuclear physics experiments at

First positrons for GBAR
First positrons for GBAR BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/first-positrons-gbar) At the CERN Antimatter Factory, antihydrogen atoms are produced routinely by merging antiprotons and positrons. In order to control this process, it is necessary to reduce the energy of those particles, i.e. decelerate them to the lowest possible energies. The antiprotons are generated
