##Shifty#neutrinos hint at antimatter mystery Boston University Duke university Stony Brook University University of Pittsburgh University of Rochester University of Washington Posted by Leonor Sierra-Rochester
when matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts in the Big bang? Somehow this balance changed over time to a dominance of matter.
and antimatter lies with neutrinos which is why observing CP violation in neutrinos would be exciting Manly adds.#
and how other particles known as mesons are made from pairs of quarks and their antimatter counterparts, antiquarks.
but fizzes with pairs of particles and their antimatter counterparts. Normally these pairs annihilate each other
#Tabletop accelerator shoots cheap antimatter bullets Make way for the antimatter gun. A tabletop device just 10 square metres in size can spit out energetic bursts of positrons as dense as those kicked out by the giant particle-factories at CERN.
Each positron-packed bullet lasts for just a fraction of a second so don't expect to fill the tank of your antimatter engine any time soon.
Huge machines at particle physics labs such as CERN near Geneva Switzerland have been churning out antimatter for over a decade.
The team call their device an antimatter gun because the bursts of positrons last just 30 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second).
In 2008 scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California produced large quantities of antimatter by directing an extremely powerful laser at a tiny gold disc.
This is similar to the powerful streams of matter-antimatter observed outside pulsars and black holes. CERN physicist Niels Madsen notes though that the tabletop device has limitations.
Nor does the smaller machine address the problem of antimatter storage. To hold antimatter stable it must be chilled
and the tabletop method makes searing-hot beams of particles moving at near light speed. As an alternative says Sarri the beams can be used to mimic the way particle fountains from black holes

#Wrong Turn in the Skies Leads to Accidental Antimatter Discovery Antimatter plentiful in science fiction is a rare phenomenon in the real world
he was surprised to discover antimatter in their midst. Dr. Joseph Dwyer and the crew spent long minutes trying to find their way out,
and discover that he found antimatter in the thunderclouds. When antimatter comes into contact with a particle of normal matter
the two wipe out each other, and it doesn stick around long enough for scientists to study it at length.
Until now, scientists have theorized only that antimatter could exist in a thunderstorm actually discovering it was nothing short of a major shock. his was so strange that we sat on this observation for several years,
Dwyer is now chasing down antimatter by releasing weather balloons and planning more head-on flights into storms h
they will better grasp the relationship between matter and antimatter.""These laws describe the nature of all matter interactions,
why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe. Notes 1 The Ds3*(2860) particle is a meson that contains a charm antiquark and a strange quark.
and one antiquark where an antiquark is the antimatter version of a quark. Story Source:
This purely theoretical particle was composed of four quarks and an antiquark (the antimatter equivalent of an ordinary quark.
and antimatter+5 The new class of particle was detected by Cern's Large hadron collider beauty (LHCB) experiment at the LHC in Switzerland.
and antimatter'Studying its properties may allow us to understand better how ordinary matter, the protons and neutrons from which we're all made,
which is the antimatter equivalent of a quark, the BBC reported. It has taken until now to prove his idea true.
another group of particles called mesons were composed of quarks and their antimatter partners, antiquarks. The theory was validated soon by experimental results,
A pentaquark is something different--a"composite state"that groups four quarks and one antiquark, the associated antimatter particle for a quark.
LHCB studies antimatter and its relationship to matter. The group has submitted a paper reporting its findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.

LHCB studies antimatter and its relationship to matter. The group has submitted a paper reporting its findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.
One interesting quirk of their physics is that they can behave as a composite of matter and antimatter inside a crystal
