  • observation of the Antimatter helium 4 nucleus
    Nature, 2011
    Co-Authors: H Agakishiev, Jefferson Alford, M M Aggarwal, A V Alakhverdyants, I Alekseev, B.d. Anderson, D Arkhipkin, Zubayer Ahammed, C Anson, G S Averichev
    Abstract:

    High-energy nuclear collisions create an energy density similar to that of the Universe microseconds after the Big Bang(1); in both cases, matter and Antimatter are formed with comparable abundance. However, the relatively short-lived expansion in nuclear collisions allows Antimatter to decouple quickly from matter, and avoid annihilation. Thus, a high-energy accelerator of heavy nuclei provides an efficient means of producing and studying Antimatter. The Antimatter helium-4 nucleus ((4)(He) over bar), also known as the anti-alpha ((alpha) over bar), consists of two antiprotons and two antineutrons (baryon number B = -4). It has not been observed previously, although the alpha-particle was identified a century ago by Rutherford and is present in cosmic radiation at the ten per cent level(2). Antimatter nuclei with B -1 have been observed only as rare products of interactions at particle accelerators, where the rate of antinucleus production in high-energy collisions decreases by a factor of about 1,000 with each additional antinucleon(3-5). Here we report the observation of (4)<(He) over bar, the heaviest observed antinucleus to date. In total, 18 (4)(He) over bar counts were detected at the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC; ref. 6) in 10(9) recorded gold-on-gold (Au+Au) collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 200 GeV and 62 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair. The yield is consistent with expectations from thermodynamic(7) and coalescent nucleosynthesis(8) models, providing an indication of the production rate of even heavier Antimatter nuclei and a benchmark for possible future observations of (4)(He) over bar in cosmic radiation.

However, the relatively short-lived expansion in nuclear collisions allows Antimatter to decouple quickly from matter, and avoid annihilation. Thus, a high energy accelerator of heavy nuclei is an efficient means of producing and studying Antimatter. The Antimatter helium-4 nucleus ($^4\bar{He}$), also known as the anti-{\alpha} ($\bar{\alpha}$), consists of two antiprotons and two antineutrons (baryon number B=-4). It has not been observed previously, although the {\alpha} particle was identified a century ago by Rutherford and is present in cosmic radiation at the 10% level. Antimatter nuclei with B < -1 have been observed only as rare products of interactions at particle accelerators, where the rate of antinucleus production in high-energy collisions decreases by about 1000 with each additional antinucleon. We present the observation of the Antimatter helium-4 nucleus, the heaviest observed antinucleus. In total 18 $^4\bar{He}$ counts were detected at the STAR experiment at RHIC in 10$^9$ recorded Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies of 200 GeV and 62 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair. The yield is consistent with expectations from thermodynamic and coalescent nucleosynthesis models, which has implications beyond nuclear physics.

  • Antimatter-gravity couplings, and Lorentz symmetry
    Hyperfine Interactions, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jay D. Tasson
    Abstract:

    Implications of possible CPT and Lorentz violation for Antimatter-gravity experiments as well as other Antimatter tests are considered in the context of the general field-theory-based framework of the Standard-Model Extension (SME).

  • Gravitational physics with Antimatter
    Hyperfine Interactions, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jay D. Tasson
    Abstract:

    The production of low-energy Antimatter provides unique opportunities to search for new physics in an unexplored regime. Testing gravitational interactions with Antimatter is one such opportunity. Here a scenario based on Lorentz and CPT violation in the Standard-Model Extension is considered in which anomalous gravitational effects in Antimatter could arise.
