Its mass is very close to four times that of a proton. The antihelium-4 nucleus has a negative electric charge that is twice that of an electron. Each such signature consists of two antiprotons and two antineutrons in a stable bound state that does not undergo radioactive decay. The scientists then sifted through data for half a trillion charged particles emitted from almost one billion collisions to detect 18 examples of the unique 'signature' of the antihelium-4 nucleus. In these atomic smashups, quarks and antiquarks emerged with approximately equal abundance. This simulated conditions just after the Big Bang. Similar experiments are also being undertaken at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European laboratory for nuclear and particle physics research, though at energies more than an order of magnitude higher than at RHIC.Īt RHIC, gold ions moving at nearly the speed of light were collided head-on. One of the great mysteries of physics is why our universe appears to be made entirely of ordinary matter when matter and antimatter are understood to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. The RHIC investigates fundamental questions about the nature of matter, antimatter, and the early universe. The findings could provide a benchmark for possible future observations of anti-alpha in the cosmos. Credit: the STAR Collaboration The detection of antihelium-4 is extremely rare since the next weightier antimatter nucleus that does not undergo radioactive decay is predicted to be a million times more rare - and out of reach of today's technology, according to a release by the Brookhaven National Laboratory. ģ-D rendering of STAR time projection chamber showing antihelium-4 track in red. Although PMD is not involved in the discovery, Indian scientists and students have been involved in several other analyses, Viyogi told Nature India. Indian scientists have built a Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD) for measurement of photons emitted from hot and dense matter formed in the collision. Since the year 2000, about 30 scientists and research scholars from India have been associated with the STAR experiment. Says Yogendra Pathak Viyogi, leader of the Indian conglomerate and head of the experimental high energy physics group at VECC, Kolkata,"It is certainly a matter of great pride for all of us to be a part of the discovery of anti-alpha, the heaviest anti-matter to have been seen in terrestrial experiments." The Indian presence in the 12-country, 54-institution effort at RHIC draws from the Panjab University, Chandigarh Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai University of Jammu Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), Kolkata Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar and University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. The new particle, also known as the anti-alpha, is the heaviest antinucleus ever detected. The collaboration has been working on the particle accelerator used to recreate and study conditions of the early universe.
The Indian scientists are part of the international STAR collaboration at RHIC which reported detecting the heaviest ever antimatter partner of the helium nucleus - antihelium-4 - last week.
