With the passing of Paul Kienle, former Director of the Stefan Meyer Institute, we lost an eminent scientist and pioneer in subatomic physics. He left us on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, few days after finishing his last scientific...
The annual SPARC Collaboration meeting took place in Vienna from November 26 to 28.
Eberhard Widmann, director of the Stefan Meyer Institute for Subatomic Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, has received a European Research Council Advanced Grant for his research on antihydrogen within the ASACUSA collaboration at the Antimatter Decelerator (AD) at CERN. The grant focuses on ASACUSA’s primary future direction, the measurement of the ground-state hyperfine structure of antihydrogen. It builds on the collaboration’s success one year ago when they made antihydrogen for the first time in their cusp trap.
