    3. 3 Plan Concepts - Look and feel Each subject could fill a whole term if I tried to give the full formalism Consider it a guided tour through the antimatter universe A bit of everything I hope that everybody will hear something new, although I am sure that most of you have heard many of the things I am talking about. However, if somebody finds out at the end of the lectures that he or she knew already everything I mentioned - please come to me and you will find yourself giving these lectures next year.Concepts - Look and feel Each subject could fill a whole term if I tried to give the full formalism Consider it a guided tour through the antimatter universe A bit of everything I hope that everybody will hear something new, although I am sure that most of you have heard many of the things I am talking about.

    5. 5 Early ideas about antimatter

    6. 6 1905: Relativity

    7. 7 1905: Relativity

    8. 8 Schrödinger equation (1926)

    9. 9 What about relativity?

    10. 10 Dirac equation

    11. 11

    12. 12 Positron discovery (1932)

    13. 13 Positron discovery- why so late ?

    14. 14 Particles and antiparticles

    15. 15 Why antimatter must exist (1)

    16. 16 Why antimatter must exist (2): causality

    17. 17 Why antimatter must exist (3)

    18. 18 Analogy : an airplane flying over a crooked road

    19. 19 Therefore:

    20. 20 1955: The CPT Theorem *

    21. 21 CPT theorem (cont’d)

    22. 22 Direct comparison of stable particles and antiparticles

    23. 23 Gravitation and Antimatter

    24. 24 Gravitation is not constrained by CPT

    25. 25 Gravitation and Antimatter

    26. 26 Antiparticle gravitation experiments have been attempted, but …

    27. 27 Conclusion: Antimatter Gravity

    28. 28 Tests with single atoms are possible

    29. 29

    30. 30

    31. 31

    32. 32 Any sign ?

    33. 33 Does the Universe care about CPT symmetry ?

    34. 34 Origin of the antimatter disappearance ?

    35. 35 Precision Experiments with Antimatter
