  • ATRAP experiment makes world’s most precise measurement of antiproton magnetic moment

    Geneva, 25 March 2013. In today’s Physical Review Letters, the Antihydrogen TRAP (ATRAP1) experiment at CERN2‘s Antiproton Decelerator (AD) reports a new measurement of the antiprotonmagnetic moment made with an unprecedented uncertainty of 4.4 parts per million (ppm). This result is 680 times more precise than previous measurements. The unusual increase in precision is due
