- A team at Northwestern University isolated a single positron for months in a cryogenic, superconducting vacuum Penning trap.
- The radioactive sodium source emitted positrons with energies up to about 546 kiloelectronvolts; a tungsten crystal slowed some of them.
- They cooled the cyclotron motion to the lowest quantized energy state and detected energy transitions and spin flips without disturbing the measured states.
- CPT symmetry predicts equal magnitudes and opposite signs for the electron’s and positron’s magnetic moments; the team hopes to measure the positron’s.
It would deepen the mystery of how the Standard Model can make such precise predictions of what we measure, while being inconsistent with basic features of the Universe.— Northwestern physicist Gerald Gabrielse said this about the possibility that the measurements agree with theory.
