Antimatter - He-4 observed

http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.3312

In total 18 4He counts were detected at the STAR experiment at RHIC in 109 recorded Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies of 200 GeV and 62 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair. The yield is consistent with expectations from thermodynamic and coalescent nucleosynthesis models, which has implications beyond nuclear physics.

Sweet.

Also, there now appears to be an "unexplained particle" from the data from LHC ( I think its them ).

Exciting stuff recently.

Wonder if anybody has compared the data to Lisi's E8 mapping?

First, this thread is about RHIC, not the LHC. Second, there has been no announcement from the LHC on the discovery of a new particle. Finally, even if there were, it wouldn't say anything one way or the other about anti-alpha production at RHIC.

Wake me up when they get to anti- U 235 and Pu 239 so I can go annihilate the core in the out of control reactor in Japan. :))
