1) According to the standard model, there is no antimatter in close proximity to matter. I.e. up and down quarks are not one another's anti-particle. 2) If the standard model is wrong and baryons are really made of muon anti-muon pairs, then there is anti-matter in close proximity to matter. 3) It is not certain that Holmlid is correct about the nature of the particles he is detecting. 4) There is a chance that his laser is accelerating charged particles to the extent that they are capable of creating exotic particles in collisions. (You may recall that I suggested this as a method of producing muons for a muon catalyzed fusion driven neutron "factory" that would produce fast neutrons for a fission reactor some years back on this list.)
