Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions

J Chen, D Keane, YG Ma, A Tang, Z Xu - Physics Reports, 2018‏ - Elsevier
We review progress in the study of antinuclei, starting from Dirac's equation and the
discovery of the positron in cosmic-ray events. The development of proton accelerators led …

Matter and Antimatter in the Universe

L Canetti, M Drewes, M Shaposhnikov - New Journal of Physics, 2012‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We review observational evidence for a matter–antimatter asymmetry in the early universe,
which leads to the remnant matter density we observe today. We also discuss bounds on the …

Non-baryonic dark matter: observational evidence anddetection methods

L Bergström - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2000‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe is reviewed. A general picture
emerges, where both baryonic and non-baryonic dark matter is needed to explain current …

Observation of an antimatter hypernucleus

Star Collaboration, BI Abelev, MM Aggarwal… - Science, 2010‏ - science.org
Nuclear collisions recreate conditions in the universe microseconds after the Big Bang. Only
a very small fraction of the emitted fragments are light nuclei, but these states are of …

Golden measurements at a neutrino factory

A Cervera, A Donini, MB Gavela, JJG Cadenas… - Nuclear Physics B, 2000‏ - Elsevier
The precision and discovery potential of a neutrino factory based on muon storage rings is
studied. For three-family neutrino oscillations, we analyse how to measure or severely …
