A hypertriton is a tritium nucleus in which a neutron is replaced by a so-called Lambda hyperon. This type of hypernucleus was first discovered in the 1950s has since been the key focus of numerous studies.
, is a further step forward toward understanding the unique properties of these fascinating nuclear complexes.nuclear physics"While its initial discovery was in a stack of stripped emulsion exposed to cosmic rays, conventional hyper-nuclear experiments using kaon beams have found it challenging to study hypertritons.
The LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world, spanning over 27 km at a CERN underground facility beneath France and Switzerland. For approximately one month in every year that it collects data, the large particle accelerator collides lead nuclei, and one in every few millions of these collisions results in the formation of a hypertriton or antihypertriton.
"This last step and the extensive data sample acquired in 2018 made it possible to get the most precise measurements of the hypertriton lifetime and hypertriton Λ separation energy," Puccio said."Also, we could measure these quantities for matter and antimatter separately and compare them. As expected from the CPT invariance of the Standard Model of particle physics, the properties of hypertritons and antihypertritons are the same.
