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 …

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 …

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
of general relativity. Considerable efforts have been made and are still being made to verify …

Atomic processes in antihydrogen experiments: a theoretical and computational perspective

F Robicheaux - Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
One possible route for a precision test of the CPT theorem is to perform spectroscopic
measurements on the antihydrogen atom and compare the results with those from hydrogen …

Sympathetic cooling of positrons to cryogenic temperatures for antihydrogen production

CJ Baker, W Bertsche, A Capra, CL Cesar… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The positron, the antiparticle of the electron, predicted by Dirac in 1931 and discovered by
Anderson in 1933, plays a key role in many scientific and everyday endeavours. Notably, the …

Evaporative cooling of antiprotons to cryogenic temperatures

GB Andresen, MD Ashkezari, M Baquero-Ruiz… - Physical review …, 2010 - APS
We report the application of evaporative cooling to clouds of trapped antiprotons, resulting in
plasmas with measured temperature as low as 9 K. We have modeled the evaporation …

Autoresonant excitation of antiproton plasmas

GB Andresen, MD Ashkezari, M Baquero-Ruiz… - Physical review …, 2011 - APS
We demonstrate controllable excitation of the center-of-mass longitudinal motion of a
thermal antiproton plasma using a swept-frequency autoresonant drive. When the plasma is …

A novel cooling scheme for antiprotons

A Kellerbauer, J Walz - New Journal of Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a novel technique which uses laser-cooled negative osmium ions for
sympathetic cooling of antiprotons. Temperatures down to the sub-millikelvin range might be …

Physics with antihydrogen

WA Bertsche, E Butler, M Charlton… - Journal of Physics B …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Performing measurements of the properties of antihydrogen, the bound state of an
antiproton and a positron, and comparing the results with those for ordinary hydrogen, has …

Antimatter plasmas in a multipole trap for antihydrogen

G Andresen, W Bertsche, A Boston, PD Bowe… - Physical review …, 2007 - APS
We have demonstrated storage of plasmas of the charged constituents of the antihydrogen
atom, antiprotons and positrons, in a Penning trap surrounded by a minimum-B magnetic …
