In 1932, physicists glimpsed antimatter for the first time — a strange mirror image of regular matter with mind-bending ...

Since then, antimatter has constituted an essential part ... creation step when brought into collision with a 46-GeV electron beam which was generated by conventional acceleration means.

Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter. The world's most massive ...

This beam was directed to collide with the accelerated ... applications in studying nuclear processes and understanding antimatter production, such as the Breit-Wheeler process for exploring ...
