Now coming into action for physics is CERN's new Antiproton Decelerator, opening another chapter of CERN's tradition of physics with antiprotons.

Experiments at CERN's low-energy antiproton ring (LEAR), closed in 1996, brought many very-high-precision and sometimes surprising antiproton results.
At first sight, physics and theatre are difficult to mix, but this is no reason not to try. Together, the genius of Dirac, the dilemma of antimatter, an unusual setting and some physical and mental ...
This winter, CERN's LEP pit formed the backdrop for an unusual theatrical performance portraying Paul Dirac's mathematical discovery of antimatter symmetry.
A recent workshop in Japan set the scene for a range of experiments at CERN's AD machine, which will synthesize and explore atoms of antimatter. John Eades reports.
Antiprotons have been a highlight of close-of-the-century physics. CERN's Antiproton Decelerator will continue this tradition into the 21st century.
Physics with antiparticles is difficult, but one trick is to replace atomic electrons by antiprotons. The resulting compact atoms are useful antiparticle laboratories.
A major antiproton experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator is currently lining up an impressive array of techniques to investigate the interaction of antiprotons with atoms.
