Antihydrogen physics

M Charlton, J Eades, D Horvath, RJ Hughes… - Physics Reports, 1994 - Elsevier
The hydrogen atom continues to be a testbench for a wide variety of fundamental physical
measurements, whose scope has been expanded to the hydrogen-like atoms positronium …

Observation of the 1S–2S transition in trapped antihydrogen

M Ahmadi, BXR Alves, CJ Baker, W Bertsche, E Butler… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The spectrum of the hydrogen atom has played a central part in fundamental physics over

Trapped antihydrogen

GB Andresen, MD Ashkezari, M Baquero-Ruiz… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Antimatter was first predicted in 1931, by Dirac. Work with high-energy antiparticles is now
commonplace, and anti-electrons are used regularly in the medical technique of positron …

Confinement of antihydrogen for 1,000 seconds

Nature Physics, 2011 - nature.com
Atoms made of a particle and an antiparticle are unstable, usually surviving less than a
microsecond. Antihydrogen, made entirely of antiparticles, is believed to be stable, and it is …

Description and first application of a new technique to measure the gravitational mass of antihydrogen

AE Charman - Nature communications, 2013 - nature.com
Physicists have long wondered whether the gravitational interactions between matter and
antimatter might be different from those between matter and itself. Although there are many …

Matter-gravity couplings and Lorentz violation

VA Kostelecký, JD Tasson - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2011 - APS
The gravitational couplings of matter are studied in the presence of Lorentz and CPT
violation. At leading order in the coefficients for Lorentz violation, the relativistic quantum …

Proposed antimatter gravity measurement with an antihydrogen beam

A Kellerbauer, M Amoretti, AS Belov, G Bonomi… - Nuclear Instruments and …, 2008 - Elsevier
The principle of the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass is one of the cornerstones
