Accelerator Report: Overcoming setbacks, antiprotons return as LHC recovers luminescent brilliance
The AD operations team received on Friday, 1 June – 12 days earlier than rescheduled – the green light from the AD injection kicker expert: beam could be injected again in the AD ring

Probing fundamental symmetries of nature with the Higgs boson
The ATLAS collaboration tested Higgs-boson interactions with the carriers of the weak force, looking for signs of charge-parity symmetry violation
-
ALICE estimates how transparent the Milky Way is to antimatter
The finding will help space- and balloon-based searches for antimatter that may have originated from dark matter
-
LHCb reveals secret of antimatter creation in cosmic collisions
The finding may help determine whether or not any antimatter seen by experiments in space originates from dark matter

BASE breaks new ground in matter–antimatter comparisons
The collaboration has made the most precise comparison yet between protons and antiprotons and tested whether or not they behave in the same way under the influence of gravity

BASE opens up new possibilities in the search for cold dark matter
The Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) at CERN’s Antimatter Factory has set new limits on how easily axion-like particles could turn into photons

ALPHA reports first measurements of certain quantum effects in antimatter
The measurements are consistent with predictions for “normal” matter and pave the way for future precision studies
