Repurposed smartphone camera sensors create real-time, high-resolution imaging of antiproton annihilations

Did you know that the camera sensor in your smartphone could help unlock the secrets of antimatter? The AEgIS collaboration, led by Professor Christoph Hugenschmidt's team from the research neutron source FRM II at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed a detector using modified mobile camera sensors to image, in real time, the points where antimatter annihilates with matter.

Physicists have confirmed a new mismatch between matter and antimatter

Charge-parity violation is thought to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe. Scientists just spotted it in a new place.

We do not know why there is no longer any antimatter in the observable cosmos, whereas the standard model of particle physics and cosmology tells us that as much matter as antimatter had to have been produced. To solve this enigma, we study the violation...

Scientists Spot a Key Difference in Matter and Antimatter Decay

A key difference has been observed in the behaviour of matter and antimatter particles by researchers working at a particle physics laboratory. A new measurement has been carried out that recorded the decay of a specific type of matter particle and its antimatter equivalent. This development is being seen as significant because it may explain why the universe is filled with matter while antimatter is nearly absent. The discovery has been describ…

A new piece in the matter–antimatter puzzle: A fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons - Tech and Science Post

On March 24, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN reported a new milestone in our understanding of the subtle yet profound differences between matter and antimatter. In its analysis of large quantities of data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the international team found overwhelming evidence that particles known as baryons, such as the protons and neutrons th…

LHCb experiment unveils new clues to the matter-antimatter mystery

LHCb experiment confirms CP violation in baryons, offering new insights into the Universe's matter-antimatter imbalance. The post LHCb experiment unveils new clues to the matter-antimatter mystery appeared first on Innovation News Network.
