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…

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,…
Read morePUMA: 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…
Read moreFirst positrons for 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…
