Light Anti-Nuclei as a Probe for New Physics (LAN2019)

14 Oct 2019, 13:00 → 18 Oct 2019, 17:00 Europe/Amsterdam

Lorentz Center@Snellius (Leiden, The Netherlands)

Manuela Vecchi (Universidade de Sao Paulo (BR)), Nicola Tomassetti (Perugia University & INFN- Perugia), Stefano Della Torre (Universita & INFN, Milano-Bicocca (IT))

In recent years, increased efforts were spent towards the detection of antimatter in space, such as positrons and antiprotons in Galactic cosmic rays. This workshop focuses on the next milestone in cosmic-ray physics, that is the detection of antideuteron or antihelium nuclei by the present or next generation of space instruments: a challenging but promising avenue in the search for new physics. The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists from different fields, from astroparticle to nuclear physics, to discuss about the experimental challenges and the theoretical implications of the detection of antinuclei in Galactic cosmic radiation.
