2.0.1 Abby Swadling - The Spectroscopy of Antihydrogen
Manage episode 448060144 series 3554000
At the beginning of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created. But in the universe today, all we see is regular matter. So where did all the the antimatter go? This is one of the biggest questions in particle physics. In this interview with Abby Swadling, a masters student at the University of Calgary, we learn about an international effort to measure the Lamb Shift transition of antihydrogen using the facilities at CERN. This work aims to add to our understanding of the properties of antimatter, an important piece in the puzzle that is the missing antimatter problem.
