Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions

J Chen, D Keane, YG Ma, A Tang, Z Xu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review progress in the study of antinuclei, starting from Dirac's equation and the
discovery of the positron in cosmic-ray events. The development of proton accelerators led …

Observation of an antimatter hypernucleus

Star Collaboration, BI Abelev, MM Aggarwal… - Science, 2010 - science.org
Nuclear collisions recreate conditions in the universe microseconds after the Big Bang. Only
a very small fraction of the emitted fragments are light nuclei, but these states are of …

Observation of the antimatter helium-4 nucleus

Nature, 2011 - nature.com
High-energy nuclear collisions create an energy density similar to that of the Universe

New directions in hypernuclear physics

TR Saito, W Dou, V Drozd, H Ekawa, S Escrig… - Nature Reviews …, 2021 - nature.com
A hypernucleus, a subatomic bound system with at least one hyperon, is a great test ground
to investigate nuclear forces and general baryonic interactions with up, down and strange …

Antiproton production as a baryonometer in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

S Gavin, M Gyulassy, M Plümer, R Venugopalan - Physics letters B, 1990 - Elsevier
We propose that measurements of the antiproton and proton yields in ultrarelativistic
nucleus-nucleus collisions can provide a sensitive probe of the spacetime evolution in these …

Production of hypernuclei in a 2.1 GeV/nucleon oxygen beam

KJ Nield, T Bowen, GD Cable, DA DeLise, EW Jenkins… - Physical Review C, 1976 - APS
The first hypernuclei production experiment using a beam of heavy ions from the Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory Bevatron is described. Mass 16 hypernuclei were produced by 2.1 …

The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for
identifying the nature of dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, and could be …

The role of antiprotons in cosmic-ray physics

SA Stephens, RL Golden - Space science reviews, 1988 - Springer
Though success eluded experimentalists from detecting cosmic-ray antiprotons over a long
period of time, the study of cosmic-ray antiprotons has now become a fascinating field of …

S Avramenko, V Aksinenko, M Anikina - 1992 - inis.iaea.org
Some 20 years ago nuclei were accelerated up to the relativistic energies at Dubna and
Berkeley, but the last goal of this new physics was hundreds GeV nuclei at CERH, Prom the …

and Production in Collisions

C Adler, Z Ahammed, C Allgower, J Amonett… - Physical Review Letters, 2001 - APS
The first measurements of light antinucleus production in Au+ Au collisions at the Relativistic
Heavy-Ion Collider are reported. The observed production rates for d and 3 He are much …
