Precise comparisons of the fundamental properties of matter–antimatter conjugates provide sensitive tests of charge–parity–time (CPT) invariance, which is an important symmetry that rests on basic assumptions of the standard model of particle physics. Experiments on mesons, leptons and baryons have compared different properties of matter–antimatter conjugates with fractional uncertainties at the parts-per-billion level or better. One specific quantity, however, has so far only been known to a… Expand

The riddle of the baryon asymmetry, i.e. the matter antimatter imbalance in the universe can be addressed by comparing matter particles with their antimatter counterparts. At the antiproton… Expand
Characterization of the 1S–2S transition in antihydrogen
TLDR
The shape of the spectral line and the resonance frequency of the 1S–2S transition in antihydrogen agree very well with those of hydrogen, consistent with charge–parity–time invariance at a relative precision of 2 × 10−12—two orders of magnitude more precise than the previous determination. Expand
