Re: [Phys-l] Anti-Matter: anti-Atom Trapped for a Perceptible period.



Hasn't similar been done for some time? Muonium. positronium.



This is great; hugh theoretical implications.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muonium

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positronium



bc notes how higher "atomic" states have longer lifetimes giving evidence of the shape of the probability space function. (cf. K capture)

p.s. I read that yesterday.
