It’s confirmed: Protons and antiprotons are well-matched. The two types of subatomic particles mirror each other in the ratios of their electric charge to mass, a new extremely precise experiment verifies.
Antiprotons are the antimatter counterpart of protons. Every type of matter particle has such an alter ego, with similar properties but opposite electric charge. But antimatter is an enigma: Scientists still don’t understand why matter is common in the universe while . To investigate the origins of this asymmetry, scientists keep checking, to ever greater precision, for differences between matter and antimatter particles, which could hint at how matter came to dominate the cosmos.
The Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment, or BASE, at the European particle physics laboratory CERN, near Geneva, measures the oscillations of a single antiproton confined within an electromagnetic trap. These oscillations, which reveal the charge-to-mass ratio of the antiproton, are compared with those of a trapped hydrogen ion, comprising a proton and two electrons, which give the proton charge-to-mass ratio.with a precision of 1.

Of course? What else do you expect? It’s just like measuring the difference between an electron and a positron.
Through experiments, nuclear physicists have seen about 3,000 different kinds of atomic nuclei to date. Current theories, though, predict the existence of about 4,000 more that have never yet been observed.
Faraday would be pleased.
Dang, 3% is a huge uncertainty. Have we really learned anything yet? I’ll pay more attention when we’re in single ppm territory.
:-/
And now what?
These people are so frickin smart
Hint similar charged particles repel each other.
QED, we're able to see only half of the picture from our current perspective which is ThisUniverse. You'd need to travel to our sisterUniverse to see the 'anti-matter'. But remember: Don't cross the streams!
good for them.
That's a load off my mind.

I knew it! I just knew it! I told the wife years ago, but she doubted me! Thanks guys. I don’t win too many. (Well done!) 😉
Would you spend millions on confirming that electrons and positrons are well-matched? Yet another costly example of conceptual incompetence leading to practical joke and waste.
That's definitely a fleshlight

nope,.. disinformation. it's not even something that needed to be tested, the anti-particle itself was originally copyrighted when i defined it as having the plus & minus reversed. you can't just give it to other people like this. theantiprotonlawsuit theuniversalphysicalmodel
