BASE develops a new technique to detect ultralight dark matter.
BASE develops a new technique to detect ultralight dark matter. In a recent work published in Physical Review Letters [1], the Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) at CERN has placed new limits on a possible coupling between photons and hypothetical axionlike dark matter particles with masses between 2.7906-2.7914 neV. We evaluated the signals from our

A mobile antiproton reservoir for precision measurements
A mobile antiproton reservoir for precision measurements The BASE collaboration has performed the most precise measurements of the fundamental properties of the antiproton in order to test CPT invariance as fundamental symmetry of the Standard Model [1, 2] and to search for dark matter-antimatter couplings [3]. The course of continuing this journey is set towards

BASE probes antimatter – dark matter interaction
BASE probes antimatter – dark matter interaction In a recent paper, the BASE collaboration presented results from a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter and placed direct constraints on the interaction of ultralight axion-like particles (dark-matter candidates) with antiprotons. Their analysis constrained the value of the axion–antiproton interaction parameter in the range

How heavy is the proton?
How heavy is the proton? To determine the mass of a single proton more accurately, the group of physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and RIKEN in Japan performed an important high-precision measurement in a greatly advanced Penning trap system. The sensitive single-particle detectors were partly developed by the RIKEN

The BASE Experiment
The BASE Experiment BASE is a Japanese / German collaboration at the antiproton decelerator facility which was approved in 2013. The goal of the effort is to conduct Penning trap based high-precision investigations of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons. These type of experiments provide stringent tests of the fundamental charge, parity, time invariance,
