The new antinucleus, discovered at RHIC's STAR detector (http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/STAR.asp), is a negatively charged state of antimatter containing an antiproton, an antineutron, and an anti-Lambda particle. It is also the first antinucleus containing an anti-strange quark. The results will be published online by Science Express on March 4, 2010.

You know, the RHIC, did not get as much hype as other particle experiments initially, but it seems to be sure going toe to toe with the others in terms of uncovering cool new physics.
ReplyDeleteWell, they did get their own publicity when they were about to go online. This is the first collider that had experienced the issue of "global catastrophe" scenario, where either black holes, or the formation of stranglets, that could destroy our earth was brought up. So there were a lot of publicity on it, so much so that the Daily Show even did a piece on it.
