A beam of antiprotons should be four times better at destroying tumours than current proton-beam therapies, claim physicists at CERN. The discovery could lead to new cancer-treatment techniques that ...

RIKEN. "Protons and antiprotons appear to be true mirror images." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 12 August 2015. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2015 / 08 / 150812134249.htm>.

The experiment begins with pulses of antiprotons being injected into helium gas to create the exotic atoms. The team then fires laser pulses at the atoms to knock the antiproton from its metastable ...

The work, published in Nature, was carried out using CERN's Antiproton Decelerator, a device that provides low-energy antiprotons for antimatter studies. CPT invariance--which the experiment was ...

Recent work has revealed that the charge and mass of protons and antiprotons are indistinguishable from each other (SN: 9/19/15, p. 8); now it seems the particles’ behavior in close quarters is ...

100 nanograms of antiprotons can be used to catalyze sub-critical nuclear reactions and drive a one metric ton payload to 100 km/sec. This capability would enable the first precursor interstellar ...

To create the exotic helium atoms containing antiprotons, the researchers used the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN - a globally unique facility that slows down the antimatter particles created in ...
