Constraints on the gravitational properties of antiprotons and positrons from cyclotron-frequency measurements.
A fundamental question in physics which has yet to be addressed experimentally is whether particles of antimatter, such as the antiproton or positron, obey the weak equivalence principle. ' An experiment that will test this principle directly for antiprotons is under development at present. Meanwhile, high-precision experimental results on the equality of the inertial masses of protons and anti...
متن کاملThe Gravitational Segregation of Matter and Antimatter
If matter and antimatter appeared in equal amounts at the creation of the universe, where is the antimatter? I offer a new hypothesis for the segregation of matter and antimatter based on the assumptions that matter has positive mass, antimatter has negative mass, and that the gravitational mass is equal to the inertial mass. This hypothesis, based on CPM (chargeparity-mass) symmetry, predicts ...
متن کاملAntimatter interferometry for gravity measurements.
We describe a light-pulse atom interferometer that is suitable for any species of atom and even for electrons and protons as well as their antiparticles, in particular, for testing the Einstein equivalence principle with antihydrogen. The design obviates the need for resonant lasers through far-off resonant Bragg beam splitters and makes efficient use of scarce atoms by magnetic confinement and...
متن کاملConstraints on the Long-range Properties of Gravity from Weak Gravitational Lensing
Weak gravitational lensing provides a means of testing the long-range properties of gravity. Current measurements are consistent with standard Newtonian gravity and inconsistent with substantial modifications on Mpc scales. The data allows long range gravity to deviate from a 1/r potential only on scales where standard cosmology would use normal gravity but be dominated by dark matter. Thus, ab...
متن کاملCyclotron motion in a gravitational-wave background
We examine the motion of a relativistic charged particle in a constant magnetic field perturbed by gravitational waves incident along the direction of the magnetic field. We apply a generalized energy conservation law to compute the variations of the kinetic energy of the particle during the passage of the waves. We also explicitly compute the change in the orbit due to a wave with constant cur...
