6Foot2 Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Link 1: Antimatter atom trapped and measured with a laser for first time ...Jeffrey Hangst and his colleagues in the ALPHA collaboration, based at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, managed to trap 14 antihydrogen atoms at once – a dramatic improvement over the one or two atoms of previous experiments. To peek at the spectrum, they shone an intense laser on to the antihydrogen atoms, so that the beam’s energy could be absorbed and re-emitted. The team found that the lowest-energy photons in the antihydrogen spectrum had the same wavelength as for hydrogen... While there is more work to be done these latest findings support the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Link 2: Standard Model [Wikipedia]
