Antimatter partner of Hyperhelium-4 observed for the first time

The heaviest antimatter hypernucleus detected so far.

The ALICE collaboration at the LHC has provided the first evidence of antihyperhelium-4, the heaviest antimatter hypernucleus detected to date. This new antimatter nucleus consists of two antiprotons, an antineutron, and an antilambda. The discovery, which has a significance of 3.5 standard deviations, follows the earlier detection of antihyperhydrogen-4 by the STAR collaboration. This marks a significant milestone in antimatter research, showcasing the detection of increasingly complex antimatter nuclei.
