Abstract

Magnetically trapped antihydrogen atoms at low temperatures were used to test the charge neutrality of this antiatomic system, by precisely placing a limit to its electrical charge. A new method for measuring the gravitational interaction of antimatter was also developed, and prospects for making a precise measurement of this interaction are discussed. Finally, progress towards a precise, direct test of CPT symmetry by laser spectroscopy of antihydrogen is presented.
