Subatomic particle seen changing to antiparticle and back
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: particle physics
Physicists have proved that a subatomic particle can switch into its antiparticle alter-ego and back again, in a new discovery revealed today.
The extraordinarily precise measurement was made by UK researchers using the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN.
It has provided the first evidence that charm mesons can change into their antiparticle and back again.
