Antiprotons, Antihydrogen and Mass Spectroscopy

Abstract

A substantial storage ring facility is being constructed at CERN in order to allow us to produce and accurately study cold antihydrogen atoms for the first time. The initial focus is upon accumulating increased numbers of antiprotons and positrons, and then combining these antimatter particles to make antimatter for the first time. An eventual goal is using laser spectroscopy to accurately compare the properties of antihydrogen and hydrogen
