CERN’s Large Hadron Collider finds the heaviest antimatter particle yet

Posted in particle physics

Scientists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reported evidence of a new antimatter particle called antihyperhelium-4, essentially the “evil twin” of another weird particle called hyperhelium-4. This incredibly exotic form of matter contains two antiprotons, an antineutron, and an unstable particle called an antilambda comprised of subatomic quarks.
