The Standard Model of particle physics is both incredibly successful and glaringly incomplete. Among the questions left open is the striking imbalance of matter and antimatter in the Universe, which inspires experiments to compare the fundamental properties of matter/antimatter conjugates with high precision. The new experiments by the BASE (Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment) Collaboration at CERN deal with direct investigations of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons.
