The GBAR experiment at CERN has just joined the very select club of experiments that have succeeded in synthesising antihydrogen atoms

On Friday, 30 June, an exciting milestone was reached: the much-awaited antiproton physics season finally commenced

The AD operations team received on Friday, 1 June – 12 days earlier than rescheduled – the green light from the AD injection kicker expert: beam could be injected again in the AD ring

The beam commissioning of the Antiproton Decelerator will start on 12 June, and the aim is to deliver antiprotons to the eagerly waiting AD-ELENA experiments on 30 June

With the Proton Synchrotron and its Booster accelerating protons to high energies again, the physics season can start at the ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility and the Antimatter Factory

New technique for producing antihydrogen atoms is important milestone for measuring influence of gravity on antimatter

In the AD hall, a beam of H- ions has reached the GBAR and ALPHA experiments, marking the end of the installation of new transfer lines from the ELENA deceleration ring

The measurements are consistent with predictions for “normal” matter and pave the way for future precision studies

The Antiproton Decelerator will see refurbishment work that will help its experiments to trap more antimatter than before
