Read article 'ASACUSA enters a new world of precision'
The antiproton may soon be better known than the proton, and an ion that is more hydrogen-like than hydrogen may become the subject of high-precision laser spectroscopy experiments. John Eades describ...
Read article 'ASACUSA probes the astrophysical ‘ice age’'
Given the apparent absence of antimatter at the cosmic scale, it might seem strange that a recent paper from the ASACUSA collaboration on quantum tunneling effects in collisions between antiprotonic h...
Read article 'The antiproton: a subatomic actor with many roles'
From providing a window on fundamental symmetries to probing the strong interaction, LEAP'03 covered the many parts played by low-energy antiprotons from accelerators, as John Eades reports.
Read article 'ASACUSA measures microwave transition in antiprotonic helium'
The ASACUSA collaboration has reinforced its status as a paragon of precision physics by following up its impressive six parts in 108 measurement of the antiproton's charge and mass with new measureme...
Read article 'ATRAP looks inside antihydrogen'
Relying on ionization of the cold antiatoms when they pass through a strong electric field gradient, the ATRAP measurement provides the first glimpse inside an antiatom.
Read article 'Cold antiatoms produced at CERN'
Physicists working at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) have announced the first controlled production of large numbers of antihydrogen atoms at low energies.
Read article 'Physicists create font for antimatter'
Physicists from the University of Mississippi in the US have developed the font, LinguistA, which allows to represent antimatter particles in Microsoft Word easier.
Read article 'New dipole moment centre inaugurated'
A new laboratory inaugurated in May at the University of Sussex, UK, aims to shed light on matter-antimatter asymmetry by measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron.
Read article 'Antimatter – the Ultimate Mirror'
Former CERN Courier editor Gordon Fraser has added brand-new material for the paperback edition of his fast-paced account of the story of antimatter.
Read article 'Helping the AMS experiment to detect antiparticles in space'
Particle physicists involved in the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment are eagerly scanning data recorded during a December 2001 NASA space shuttle mission.
