High-energy physics: The matter with antimatter

Michael Peskin

Top

The Universe is made of matter, not antimatter, and 'CP violation' in particle decays could be the reason. Results from experiments measuring this effect at last confirm the predictions of a 30-year-old theory.

Every elementary particle has an anti- particle, a counterpart with precisely the same mass and the opposite electric charge. It would seem natural that all of the interactions of antiparticles are just the opposite of those of particles.
