It already has been! It is quite difficult however, because atoms are not charged so they cannot be accelerated using electric fields as other particles such as protons or electrons.

Basically to make an anti-atom one first creates anti-protons and positrons, which are then brought together to form anti-hydrogen. It has not been achieved yet to create other anti-atoms yet. The main problem you have afterwards is to protect the anti-atom from bumping into the walls of your experiment; this would cause it to annihilate! This is however, an anti-atom and atom collision!

Recently physicists at CERN have succeeded in trapping anti-hydrogen using magnetic fields (since it does have a dipole moment) for minutes. Long enough to perform spectroscopy on it. They are checking for example if the energy levels or hydrogen and anti-hydrogen are the same as predicted by theory.

When was the first particle accelerator built?

The first particle accelerator was built more around the time of 1927 (resonance linear accelerator) about eight years after Rutherford first split the nucleus. But not too sure one that, I have other sources saying 1929, but definitely not as late as 1972. I do know that the first successful cyclotron (a type of circular particle accelerator, which was basically the ground work for the cynchrocyclotron spelling?) was built and tested in 1931 by Ernest Lawrence.

What are the eight models of tau and how do they contribute to the understanding of this particle?

The eight models of tau are: Standard Model, Two-Higgs Doublet Model, Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, Left-Right Symmetric Model, Technicolor Model, Composite Higgs Model, Little Higgs Model, and Extra Dimensions Model. These models help scientists understand the properties and interactions of the tau particle by providing different theoretical frameworks and predictions that can be tested through experiments. Each model offers unique insights into the behavior of the tau particle and contributes to our overall understanding of particle physics.

What are the key steps involved in conducting the three sieve test for particle size analysis?

The key steps in conducting the three sieve test for particle size analysis are: Selecting three sieves with different mesh sizes Weighing a sample of the material to be tested Passing the sample through the sieves and collecting the particles retained on each sieve Weighing the particles retained on each sieve Calculating the percentage of material retained on each sieve Plotting a particle size distribution curve based on the results


What is the purpose of the Large Hadron Collider being tested in Geneva?

try this site- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7567926.stm Basically there are a number of anomalies and unsatisfactory answers in our present knowledge of matter and the beginnings of the universe. Scientists will be looking for 1)the elusive Higgs-boson which will explain why particles have mass,2) the missing anti-matter in the universe (on the assumption that equal amounts were 'created' in the Big Bang, 3) superparticles- squarks, selectrons etc predicted in some theories,4) multi-dimensional theories which have been floating around for decades and presumably 5) any other interesting lines that emerge.
