particle-antiparticle collisions are very commonly observed in particle accelerators. I don’t see how hypothetical antiparticles in the solar wind could behave much differently.

Please pause. Can you not see that one case is artificial and one case is natural? Accelerators are designed to focus the beams to collide. Whereas in the case of the solar wind, we are dealing with a natural system where particles came move wherever. I do not see how these two things can be considered comparible.
Eotvos revisited—I’m glad to see that you read this study as inconclusive.
I agree with you for the need for a test to conclusively find the gravitational relationship between matter and antimatter—I agree, that is the only rational way to proceed forward in science, with evidence. …And then I am dismayed by the next paragraph justifying the lack of exploration to determine the exact nature of gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter, where you say, “nearly all (scientists) being nearly certain that antimatter doesn’t exhibit antigravity.” Certainty w/out proof is not a scientific path. I know it’s one that many people take, but it is not warranted when studying the unknown. I’ll give you a bunch of good reasons why this fundamental question needs to be categorically answered and no longer glossed over: the evidentiary anomalies, for example, the solar wind, antimatter cloud surrounding the galactic center, the supermassive black-hole at the galactic center, apparent “absence” of all antimatter, increasing expansion, uniform mass distribution, flat event horizon, and on, and on. Scientists who are “certain” that they are on the correct foundational footings are ignoring the annoying contradictions posed by the evidentiary anomalies. None of these phenomena are easily answered w/out a separate theory w/ a separate set of assumptions of their own, e.g, the vacuum of space argument (w/out a mechanism) for the solar wind. If the current assumptions were perfect, we should not have so many anomalies. The Dominium model provides answers for all of these and more with only one hypothetical premise: gravitational repulsion.
PS: You are right about these fundamentals of the Dominium being around since 1979 (though I have no idea who to give attribution, I lost my notes in a move and haven’t been able to find the original articles again in the library…please tell me who they were, if you know…I have felt awful that they haven’t been given credit.) This model started off as a letter to an MIT acquaintance who, to my surprise & gall, had never heard of them (his “specialty” is the inflection point in Hubble Expansion.) I used the deductive method in that letter, and that analysis expanded rapidly into the Dominium model.
In answer to the last point you brought up, as far as the probable relationship between photons and antimatter, the answer I would give is attraction:
1: We know that photons are the antiparticles of themselves; we know photons are attracted to matter; therefore, protons would also be attracted to antimatter because being a “between-species” they have as much in common with matter as they do with antimatter, therefore would be influenced similarly.
2: Both matter and antimatter warp space-time, photons are attracted to things that warp space-time, therefore, photons will be attracted to antimatter.
3: Finally, one of the implications deep w/in the Dominium model is that before the first light of CMB, micro black-holes (MBH) were created inside of embryonic galaxies of an opposite type the the galaxy itself. So, for the Milky Way, the type of MBH produced would have been antimatter-based (AMBH). Because of asymmetric geometries most of the AMBH from our galaxy would have been purged, as would have been the case for MMBH produced in mirror galaxies based on antimatter. However, both types of material would have been purged at a time after considerable expansion had already taken place. Both types, the model asserts, are still on-route to the nearest like-type galaxy, which means that today they are all located somewhere between galaxies. This perfectly matches the gravitational readings of what has been referred to as "dark matter." Because these readings are based on objects attracting photons gravitationally, therefore this observation and the Dominium assertion are consistent with the notion that photons are attracted to gravitational influences of antimatter.
