Antihelium nuclei as messengers from the depths of the galaxy TU_Muenchen NaturePhysics
. The way in which galaxies move in galactic clusters, or how fast stars circle the center of a galaxy results in calculations which indicate that there must be far more mass present than what we can see. Approximately 85 percent of our Milky Way for example consists of a substance which is not visible and which can only be detected based on its gravitational effects. As of today it has still not been possible to directly prove the existence of this material.
In both processes, the antiparticles originate in the depths of the galaxy, several tens of thousands of lightyears away from us. After their creation, a part of them makes its way in our direction. How many of these particles survive this journey unscathed and reach the vicinity of the Earth as messengers of their formation process determines the transparency of the Milky Way for antihelium nuclei.
