The antiproton, p, (pronounced p-bar) is the antiparticle of the proton.Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived, since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy.
Antiprotonic helium is a three-body atom composed of an antiproton and an electron orbiting around a helium nucleus. It is thus made partly of matter, and partly of antimatter. The atom is electrically neutral, since an electron and an antiproton each have a charge of −1 e, whereas a helium nucleus has a charge of +2 e. It has the longest ...
Simon van der Meer in the Antiproton Accumulator Control Room, 1984. From the beginning of the project, the potential of physics with low-energy antiprotons was recognized. A Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) was built and received antiprotons from the AA from 1983 on, for deceleration to as low as 100 MeV/c. [8] The first artificially created antimatter, in the form of anti-Hydrogen, was ...
After the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) had been operational since 1980, the update program ACOL (Antiproton COLlector) was proposed in 1983. [1] The update comprised improvement work on the antiproton source, the construction of the Antiproton Collector (AC), as well as reconstructions of the injection and ejection systems of the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) and its stochastic cooling system.
ATHENA, also known as the AD-1 experiment, was an antimatter research project at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN, Geneva.In August 2002, it was the first experiment to produce 50,000 low-energy antihydrogen atoms, as reported in Nature.
Planned experiments will use traps as the source of low energy antiprotons. Such a beam would be allowed to impinge on atomic hydrogen targets, in the field of a laser, which is meant to excite the bound proton–antiproton pairs into an excited state of protonium with some efficiency (whose computation is an open theoretical problem).
AD-9 Antiproton unstable matter annihilation ALPHA experiment The Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus ( ALPHA ), also known as AD-5 , is an experiment at CERN 's Antiproton Decelerator , designed to trap antihydrogen in a magnetic trap in order to study its atomic spectra .
official BASE logo. BASE (Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment), AD-8, is a multinational collaboration at the Antiproton Decelerator facility at CERN, Geneva.The goal of the Japanese and German BASE collaboration [1] are high-precision investigations of the fundamental properties of the antiproton, namely the charge-to-mass ratio and the magnetic moment.
