Hello,
From what I read, the longest antimatter containment ever achieved was >16 minutes by the Alpha project at CERN in 2011.
Has this ever been beaten?
What is the limiting factor?...the anti-hydrogen will always have a magnetic moment to be held by the magnetic field of the trap, so is it the fact that it exists in an imperfect (though very strong) vacuum, and eventually annihilates over time?
Haven't been able to find much info on this.
Thanks
