"Production of Exotic Atoms and High Precision Symmetry Tests" Research Team
Research Areas
It is getting more and more clearer that exotic atoms which do not exists in nature are however potential tools to study the beautiful symmetry and its spontaneous breaking down of nature. Considering this fact, this team aims at (1) testing the CPT symmetry by comparing the hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen with that of hydrogen.
