In a recent study done at the Axis accelerator, researchers closely analyzed the decay process of the neutral food B into the charged food pair K, with the aim of examining whether this phenomenon might explain the huge difference in the distribution of matter versus antimatter in the universe
New information about the decay of neutral food B may shed light on the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. Admittedly, it is too early to know if behind the accumulated information will be discovered New physics, there is no doubt that this is a big leap in the human ability to distinguish the small differences between matter and antimatter since the sixties.
I'm sure you've heard of antimatter. For those who haven't had time to read the scientific press, we remind you - for every particle in nature there is a "mirror" particle, identical in its properties except for the charges it carries. The positron, aka the anti-particle of the electron, is considered an excellent example of this. Apart from the opposite electric charge, the electron and positron have exactly the same mass, radius and spin. It is not an exotic particle at all, without sophisticated equipment we can all measure it. The positron appears in many radioactive decays. As a matter of fact, it was emitted right now in a tiny amount from the banana that is sitting on the kitchen bowl in your house. If indeed these particles are completely identical to those around us, what is so special about them? Why don't we see antimatter? The reason for this is due to the interaction between matter and antimatter. When these come in contact, they undergo an inhalation process, that is, they are converted into energy-carrying particles, such as light. The energy utilization in this process is one hundred percent, higher than any combustion, fission or nuclear fusion.
The antimatter was first described by Paul Dirac, one of the pioneers of quantum theory, in 1928. At first, scientists treated antimatter as a mathematical fiction, but the discovery was not long in coming and in 1932, Carl Anderson discovered the positron through the cosmic background radiation scattered in the Earth's atmosphere. In the coming decades, physicists will discover many more antiparticles, and will see that every particle in nature also has a mirror particle.
One of the researchers, Lars Eklund, professor of particle physics at the University of Glasgow, explains that "so far, we have no explanation as to why matter is observed in abundance in the universe. How are stars made of antimatter discovered in space yet? Based on the standard model there is no reason to believe that the amount of matter created in the universe is greater than antimatter. If there was no difference in the beginning, in a short period of time all the matter in the universe would have disappeared in a process of inhalation. If so, why does matter exist at all? These questions intrigue many scientists around the world, and from time to time hypotheses and theories are put forward to break the symmetry between them. The only thing that is certain is that the solution must come from new physics."
"These problems did not go over the heads of the scientists at the large accelerator in Sarn VIt was recently reported that the LHCb experiment revealed a discovery that may prove a mechanism that would favor the creation of matter over antimatter. "
A-cytmaria in nature
The behavior of quarks and leptons, the particles that make up the observable matter in the universe, teaches us about the difference between matter and antimatter. Quarks are divided into different "flavors" (not a good name, but we all use historical conventions. It has nothing to do with flavor as we all experience it in everyday life. This is just a name that distinguishes between quarks of similar mass) such as up, down, strange, magical, lower and upper. The up and down quarks build all the elements in the periodic table and the other quarks are detected in accelerators but are unstable. Particles formed from the binding of a quark and an anti-quark (the anti-particle of the quark) are called mesons (in Hebrew, light particles).
In the 60s, particle physicists observed an interesting property that appeared in four different neutral foods
(B0S, B0, D0 , K0). The quarks that make them up changed their nature and were replaced by mirror particles. The spontaneous process eventually fades because most foods are unstable. When the researchers looked closely, they noticed that the spontaneous process occurred more often for the mesons than the anti-mesons. From the point of view of the physicists, this was an exciting moment - they finally encountered the opportunity to examine symmetry breaking in depth.
New physics?
In a recent study done at the axis accelerator, researchers closely analyzed the decay process of the neutral food B into the charged pair of foods K. The food B is created by a powerful collision of protons in the accelerator and moments before disintegration, it oscillates between it and the mirror particle - the anti-food B. Similarly, the collision also creates anti Type B foods and they also oscillate between them and the B foods until disintegration. Besides the well-known difference in particle circulation, the researchers also showed for the first time differences in the rate of decay of nutrients and antinutrients to food K. The new experiments gathered a respectable amount of information that will allow in the future to verify or rule out current models. The axion is one of the well-known models on the market and is also famous among dark matter hunters, but even if it is true, the tiny asymmetry it generates cannot explain the huge difference between matter and antimatter observed in the universe. The Sarn experiment allows for the first time to closely examine both new and old theories. We all hope to discover new physics, but so far the hopes have been greater than the conclusions.
