The Laser Centre of the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics, and Optometry (FPMO) of the University of Latvia (UL) has become a partner of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research CERN Antihydrogen Experiment AEgIS.
The agreement between the University of Latvia and CERN provides for the involvement of the Laser Centre in the development and implementation of a positron detector, analysis of the interaction of the laser with atoms and antiatoms, as well as implementation of other sections of the experiment.
AEgIS collaborators have joined forces to create an antihydrogen atomic beam that would operate in pulse mode.
The CERN Antihydrogen Experiment collaboration consists of experts from 17 different scientific institutions in Norway, Poland, France, Czech Republic, India, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, and now Latvia. The partners represent various fields, including particle physics, laser physics, plasma physics, cryogenics, physical chemistry, molecular physics, engineering, chemistry, computer science, material science, and others.
