antimatter-matters

Antimatter-matters is a hands-on exhibit created for the 2016 Royal Society Summer Science exhibit (Monday 4 July - Sunday 10 July).

For a downloadable guide to the exhibit, click here.

Visitors to the exhibit will be able to:

• Learn how to spot traces of antimatter in experimental data.
• Learn how antimatter can be produced and stored by experiments.
• See a positron emission particle tracking device in action using a weak radioactive source.

The topics of antimatter and particle-antiparticle annihilation appear in most high-school level Physics syllabuses (e.g. in the A-Level Physics syllabuses from AQA, OCR and EDEXCEL).
