Positron physics examines the behaviour of the positron, the electron’s antiparticle, and its interactions with matter. Central to this field is the study of annihilation processes, whereby positrons ...

Positron, the antiparticle of electron, has the same mass and charge as that of an electron but with the sign flipped for the charge. It is an attractive particle for scientists because the use of ...

Physicists have taken the Universe’s temperature, revealing the searing trillion-degree heat of the Big Bang’s first plasma.

Testing times. Scientists are pushing the performance of TOF-PET systems. Researchers at CERN have placed new limits on the timing performance of state-of-the-art systems for time-of-flight positron ...

The briefing book of the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics was published in October. Paris Sphicas ...

China’s ambitious plan to build the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), a multibillion-dollar project aimed at ...

Researchers at CERN may be on the verge of explaining the universe’s missing gamma rays and hidden magnetic fields.

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists have recreated "cosmic fireballs" here on Earth in a particle accelerator.The ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from ...

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma ...
