The apparent dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe remains one of the greatest puzzles in science. The antiproton decelerator facility at CERN is home to several experiments dedicated to performing precise measurements of the properties of antimatter and hoping to provide insight into the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem. Recently the ALPHA and BASE experiments have reported...

QCD has been long accepted as the underlying theory behind nuclear forces. However, calculations of nuclear properties directly from QCD have only very recently become mature. The theory's non-perturbative nature at low energies requires the use of lattice regularization (lattice QCD) combined with numerical methods for its solution. With these tools in hand, we are now starting to be able to...

Neutrons have been a useful probe in many fields of science as well as an important physical system for study in themselves. Modern neutron sources provide extraordinary opportunities to study a wide variety of physics topics. Among them is a detailed study of the weak interaction. These measurements, done in few-nucleon systems, are finally letting us gain knowledge of the hadronic weak...

The status of tests of the Standard Model and of searches for new physics in nuclear and neutron beta decay will be reviewed. Using a model-independent description, I will discuss the interplay between the different experiments and which ones are the most sensitive and promising. Finally I will analyse the synergy with searches at high-energy colliders, such as the LHC, and with other...
