Newswire: 17 August 2015 - CERN: The ALICE experiment at CERN makes precise comparison of light nuclei and antinuclei

Geneva, 17 August 2015. The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN1 has made a precise measurement of the difference between ratios of the mass and electric charge of light nuclei and antinuclei. The result, published today in Nature Physics, (10.1038/nphys3432) a fundamental symmetry of nature to an unprecedented precision for light nuclei. The measurements are based on the ALICE experiments abilities to track and identify particles produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisi...
