      To achieve this goal, Cern scientists have built transportable devices containing superconducting magnets, cryogenic cooling systems and vacuum chambers where antiprotons can be trapped, avoiding contact with normal matter, and carried on seven-tonne lorries.

      Antiprotons. So basically an anti-hydrogen ion.

          No, it is not deuterium. The thing that differentiates deuterium from “normal” hydrogen is a neutron, while here, we are only talking of antiprotons (without antineutrons or positrons).

          Anti-dueterium would need the anti-proton to be bound to an anti-neutron (with an orbiting positron if you wanted neutral anti-deuterium)
