Moving antimatter beyond the lab
Moving antimatter beyond the lab For decades, antimatter experiments have been bound to a single place: the laboratory in which the particles are produced and trapped. At CERN’s Antimatter Factory, antiprotons are routinely produced, decelerated and confined in Penning traps, where electric and magnetic fields are used to store charged particles for high-precision studies.

AIDAInnova: Tailwind from the EC for concerted detector development
AIDAInnova: Tailwind from the EC for concerted detector development For more than two decades, a number of coordinated initiatives in Europe have targeted the fundamental and technological issues associated with the development and exploitation of the most advanced detectors for particle physics research. From the first type of detectors including photographic plates and bubble chambers
