"The question is very simple: do matter and antimatter obey the same laws of physics?.??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
...Yes
 
depends on what you mean by laws of physics.
when CPT is conserved, they obey the same laws.
If CPT is violated, they behave differently... but still under the laws of physics... so yes even in that case.
 
"The law of physics" are laws for all types of matter, so... yes.

There are tiny differences between particles and their antiparticles. This is known as CP violation and has been observed in many experiments.
 
yeah sorry... I can't edit to correct it, I meant to write CP violation...
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
