Flaring activity of V404 Cygni was discovered with the Swift/BAT and MAXI X-ray monitors 10, and observations with INTEGRAL 12 started within two days, lasting from 17 to 31 June 2015. This recent ...

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 ...

Physicists have been chasing antimatter technology for more than 80 years now — driven by the promise of oppositely oriented particles that explode in a burst of energy whenever they make contact with ...

That’s the longest time that anyone has managed to hold on to antimatter atoms – they are famously difficult to corral because antimatter annihilates whenever it encounters matter. Geneva-based CERN ...

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 ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., July 29, 2020--A multi-institution team has used positron beams to probe the nature of radiation effects, providing new insight into how damage is produced in iron films. This ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of Michigan and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have constructed a low-energy positron beam at NC State's PULSTAR nuclear ...
