With the discovery of the Higgs particle at the LHC, particle physics is entering a new era, where low energy precision experiments are expected to play increasingly important roles. In this context, I will try to motivate experiments using antiprotons and antihydrogen, and argue how they may provide unique insight into fundamental physics, in a manner complementary to other precision...

Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model
Oral
The ASACUSA CUSP collaboration developed a unique scheme for the precision measurement of the ground state hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen. A polarized antihydrogen beam is produced by
using a so-called CUSP magnetic field, which is provided by a superconducting anti-Helmoltz coil assembly. Antihydrogen atoms in high field seeking states which transmit the unique magnetic...

When compared to their matter counterparts, precision measurements of antiprotons such as the one of their charge-to-mass ratio [1] or of antihydrogen provide very stringent tests of the CPT symmetry (charge conjugation, parity and time reversal) that is fundamental to our formulation of the Standard Model of particle physics in terms of Lorentz invariant, local quantum field theories.
