The NA62 collaboration reported the unequivocal confirmation of the ultra-rare decay of a positively charged kaon into a positively charged pion and a neutrino–antineutrino pair. Experiments including NA62 have previously measured and seen evidence of this process, but this is the first time it has been measured with a statistical significance of five standard deviations, crossing the threshold traditionally required to claim a discovery in particle physics. ...

Experimental breakthrough of the BASE international research collaboration / Johannes Gutenberg University involved
 
Why does the universe contain matter and (virtually) no antimatter? The BASE international research collaboration at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, headed by Professor Stefan Ulmer from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and with the participation of Professor Jochen Walz of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), has achieved an experimental breakthrough in this context. It can contribute to measuring the mass and magnetic moment of antiprotons more precisely than ever before – and thus identify possible matter-antimatter asymmetries. BASE has developed a trap, which can cool individual antiprotons much more rapidly than in the past, as the researchers now explain in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters.
