Antiprotonic helium is a neutral exotic atom, consisting of a helium nucleus, an electron and an antiproton. The interactions of the angular momenta and spins of these constituents cause a splitting within the principle states. The spin magnetic moment of the antiproton can be determined by comparing the measured hyperfine transition frequencies with three-body quantum electrodynamics (QED)...

Atoms made of a particle and an antiparticle are unstable, usually surviving
less than a microsecond. Antihydrogen, made entirely of antiparticles, is
believed to be stable, and it is this longevity that holds the promise of
precision studies of matter-antimatter symmetry. We have recently
demonstrated trapping of antihydrogen atoms by releasing them after a
confinement time of 172 ms...

ATRAP continues to pursue the idea, enunciated back in 1987, to trap enough cold antihydrogen

While the big earthquake happened in the last March in the east part of Japan had made significant damages to the J-PARC facilities, there are a lot of works ongoing at J-PARC to recover them as early as possible. We expect to have a beam early in the next year for commissioning. In this talk, I will summarize the hadron physics program to be carried out in near future at J-PARC including...

An electric dipole moment (EDM) aligned with the spin of a fundamental particle violates both parity conservation and time reversal invariance, or, via the presumed CPT conservation, CP invariance. Standard Model predictions are much below current or anticipated experimental sensitivity levels; an observation within the next generation of searches will represent a new signature of CP violation...

The PANDA experiment is one of the key projects at the future FAIR facility, which is currently under construction at GSI, Darmstadt. It will be located at the HESR storage ring that will deliver antiproton beams of unrivalled intensity and quality
within a momentum range of 1.5 GeV/c and 15 GeV/c. Measurements will be performed with a fixed-target setup using frozen hydrogen and heavier...

During more than 10 years of regular operation, CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has supplied the successful physics program with low-energy antiproton beams at 5.3 MeV kinetic energy. For the medium and long-term future, several options exist for upgrades and consolidation of the facility as well as for extension of the physics program. One of these, the recently approved ELENA ring, is a...

The first ultracold neutrons (UCN) have been produced at the Paul Scherrer Institute’s (PSI) new UCN source in December 2010. The design goal is to exceed the currently available UCN densities by a factor 50 to 100 and to use these neutrons for fundamental physics experiments, most prominently the search for a neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) or the...

To face the challenges of the physics program in PANDA1, the cylindrical
central tracker of the Target Spectrometer has to fulll the following
requirements: A high vertex resolution (sigma~ 150 m; z 1 mm),
high momentum resolution ( 1 %), minimal material budget ( 1%
of radiation length), high rate capability, resistance against aging, etc.
Due to the beam characteristics (L=2*10^32 cm^-2...

The AMADEUS experiment [1] is the proposal presented at the DAFNE collider to investigate the antikaon-nucleon potential in the nuclear enviroment, and it is being preceded by the study of the hadronic interactions of K- in the 4He of the drift chamber of KLOE [2].
Studies on the field has a rather long story at DAFNE, starting with the DEAR and SIDDHARTA [3] experiment measuring the strong...

The response of the hyperfine spectra of simple atoms and molecules such as the antiprotonic helium atom and the molecular ion HD+ to external magnetic fields is investigated, and transition lines are singled out that are particularly insensitive to the size and polarization of the external field or, on the contrary, particularly sensitive to the characteristics of the particles.

The exotic hydrogen-like atoms are formed in a highly excited atomic
states after slowing down and Coulomb capture of negatively charged
particles (muon, pion, etc.) in hydrogen media. The further evolution
of their initial distribution in quantum numbers and kinetic energy
depends on the complicated interplay of the radiative transitions and
collisional-induced processes during...

In a free muon decay, the daughter electron energy is limited to about half the muon mass. If the decaying muon is bound in an atom, the binding effects significantly distort the electron spectrum and increase the maximum energy to almost the full muon mass. A new theoretical determination of that spectrum will be presented. The high-energy electrons are a background in searches for the...

The kinetics of muon-catalyzed-fusion processes (μCF) in pure deuterium D2 gas has been studied with regard to the epithermal effects of muonic dμ-atoms accelerated during the cascade.
For this purpose the kinetic energy distribution of dμ atoms in the 1S-state has been calculated using the modified quantum-classical Monte Carlo cascade method developed in [1]. This calculation has...

Every atom is exotic. It is merely a (very good) approximation that
an atom is dominated by the electromagnetic interaction. According
to the electroweak theory of particle physics, the heavy Z0 neutral
gauge boson mediates interactions in atoms that violate parity.
Ever since the creation of the field in the early 70s, this atomic parity
violation has been an important low-energy test of...

20 Years of Antiprotonic Helium
Poster
Recently, the first experimental results for laser-microwave-laser spectroscopy of the hyperfine structure of antiprotonic 3He were published [1]. Along with the
measurements of hyperfine splitting of the levels and relevant fundamental properties of antiproton, such experiments can provide an interesting information on collisional transitions and interaction of antiprotonic helium with a...

The preparation of an intense beam of polarized antiprotons is
{\it the} crucial point for the physics program proposed by the PAX
collaboration [1] at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt.
A possibility to overcome this experimental challenge is seen in elastic
scattering of antiprotons off a polarized $^1$H target [2].
Another possibility is to use the interaction of antiprotons with...
