Exotic Particle Science at CERN: Antimatter and Positronium in AEGIS Experiment
One of the several experiments at CERN is AEGIS, which aims to make the first direct measurement of Earth's gravitational effect on antimatter. To do this, the scientists need to first generate a beam of antihydrogen atoms with the right properties, which involves the Antiproton Decelerator to achie...
