Positron physics examines the behaviour of the positron, the electron’s antiparticle, and its interactions with matter. Central to this field is the study of annihilation processes, whereby positrons ...

Positron, the antiparticle of electron, has the same mass and charge as that of an electron but with the sign flipped for the charge. It is an attractive particle for scientists because the use of ...

Researchers developed a new, symmetry-consistent way to describe CP-violating neutral triple gauge couplings, correcting ...

This summer saw the University of Bristol hold the 16th triennial International Conference on Positron Annihilation (ICPA-16) with attendance from over 200 people from 28 different countries. Bristol ...

Nicola Tesla was an inconvenient man for some, and his 150th birthday was last Monday. Why should you care? Here's a clue, then Professor Igor Bray in Perth. [music: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, AC/DC ...

At its 225th session, the CERN Council received the recommendations for the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the aim of which is to develop a common vision for the future of the ...

Quark-antiquark annihilation, specifically an up quark and up antiquark, can generate a virtual photon. This virtual photon's existence temporarily violates established physical laws due to its short ...

Professor Ilham Al Qaradawi is professor of Nuclear Physics at Qatar University and Adjunct Professor of Physics at Texas A&M University in Qatar. Over the past decade at Qatar University, Al Qaradawi ...
