Does antimatter emit a new light ?

Abstract

We identify a number of problematic aspects of current classical and quantum theories of antimatter; we introduce a new mathematical formalism which is an antiautomorphic image of that of matter equivalent to charge conjugation at the operator level, but applicable from Newton's equations to quantum mechanics; we show that the emerging new theory of antimatter recovers known experimental data on electroweak interactions; we finally identity the following predictions of the theory: 1) reversal in the field of matter of the gravitational curvature (antigravity) for stable antiparticles and their bound states, such as the anti-hydrogen atom; 2) conventional (attractive) gravity for a bound state of an elementary particle and its antiparticle, such as the positronium; and 3) prediction that the anti- hydrogen atom emits a new photon which coincides with the conventional photon for all electroweak interactions but experiences repulsion in the gravitational field of matter.
