Matter-Antimatter Difference Found in Neutrino Oscillations

Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:42:00 BST

One of the great scientific puzzles of our time is why we live in a universe full of matter rather than antimatter. Wherever we look, we observe that matter dominates over antimatter, yet we believe that matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts soon after the Big Bang. To reconcile these two facts there must be some difference in the way matter and antimatter behave.

Glasgow Particle Physics Masterclass surpasses 1000 pupils
