Theoretical Physics Seminar


Cancelled

The talk of prof. dr hab. Tomasz Sowiński needs to be postponed because
of the PhD Students' Symposium which will be held on June 3-5, 2024.

Prof. Tomasz Sowiński will give the talk titled "Spectroscopy of
antiprotonic atoms" two weeks alter, i.e. on June 18, 2024.

Apologies for the confusion!

Several high-precision experiments at the Antiproton Decelerator complex at CERN aim to look for any significant differences between matter and  antimatter. One of these experiments is AEḡIS, whose primary goal is to test the weak equivalence principle for antimatter by measuring (with atomic accuracy) the free fall of a neutral antihydrogen atom in the Earth's gravitational field. It turns out that the experimental setup and techniques developed at AEḡIS, when expanded appropriately, can be used to produce on-demand complex bound states of matter and antimatter, and then to study their spectroscopic properties. One such natural direction is the possibility of producing neutral antiprotonic atoms, i.e., atoms in which one of the electrons is substituted by almost 2,000 times heavier antiproton. During my talk, I will present how this research can contribute to a better understanding of the bound states of matter and antimatter, as well as the internal structure of atomic nuclei, and how it could potentially become yet another opportunity for precise testing of fundamental theories.
