Located in CERN's Antiproton Decelerator hall, GBAR is specifically designed to measure the effect of gravity on antihydrogen atoms.
The measurement shows that the magnetic g-factors are identical within 0.8 parts per million.
Measuring the effect of gravity on antimatter is a long-standing story. Now we are in a position to test Einstein’s equivalence principle with antimatter by directly measuring the free fall of antia...
The ALPHA collaboration has reported the first ever measurement of the optical spectrum of an antimatter atom.
The Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is now in the commissioning phase.
Only a few direct measurements have been performed so far to test this conjecture.
Claude Amsler looks at some of the studies over the years at CERN.
This high-precision measurement was achieved by comparing the cyclotron frequencies of antiprotons and negatively charged hydrogen ions in a Penning trap.
Antiprotons returned to CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) on 5 August and experiments have been receiving beams since mid-September, following an intensive consolidation programme during the first...
