Lepton Symmetry Experiment – matter / antimatter symmetry test with electron and positron
In modern physics we are faced with the unsatisfactory situation that the Standard Model (SM), which condenses our current state of knowledge in the form of quantum field theories, despite its spectacular success in the prediction of laboratory results, fails in explaining even the most basic properties of our Universe, such as the disparity of matter and antimatter and the possible existence of dark matter. In the quest to search for answers to these questions, low energy, high precision experiments in ion traps have taken a pivotal role by allowing precise tests of the charge, parity and time (CPT) reversal symmetry. I propose an ambitious, next-generation Penning-trap experiment that…
