  1. Antimatter - CERN

    science physics antimatter Antimatter Antimatter Paul Dirac (Image: Wikimedia) In 1928, British physicist Paul Dirac wrote down an equation that combined quantum theory and special relativity to describe …

  2. The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem - CERN

    The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So why is there far more matter than antimatter in the universe? The Big Bang …

  3. Storing antihydrogen - CERN

    And because antimatter annihilates in a flash of energy when it interacts with regular matter, storing it presents a challenge. Creating Antihydrogen The antimatter counterpart to the simplest atom, …

  4. What happened to antimatter? - CERN

    May 13, 2013 · What happened to antimatter? Where is the missing antimatter? CERN scientist Rolf Landua teams up with TED-Ed animators to explain the disparity that allows us to exist

  5. Probing dark matter using antimatter - CERN

    Nov 13, 2019 · Dark matter and the imbalance between matter and antimatter are two of the biggest mysteries of the universe. Astronomical observations tell us that dark matter makes up most of the …

  6. ALPHA experiment at CERN observes the influence of gravity on …

    Sep 27, 2023 · CERN’s Antimatter Factory is a unique facility in the world for producing and studying antimatter. Two other experiments at this facility, AEgIS and GBAR, share with ALPHA the goal of …

  8. The Antiproton Decelerator - CERN

    The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) is a unique machine that produces low-energy antiprotons for studies of antimatter, and “creates” antiatoms. A proton beam coming from the PS (Proton Synchrotron) is fired …

  9. An antimatter beam open for booking - CERN

    Jun 5, 2025 · CERN’s antimatter factory produces low-energy (i.e. 'slow') antiprotons in order to “manufacture” and study antimatter. To achieve this, two decelerators, the Antiproton Decelerator …

  10. BASE experiment takes a big step towards portable antimatter

    Oct 25, 2024 · Antimatter might sound like something out of science fiction, but at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD), scientists produce and trap antiprotons every day. The BASE experiment can even …
