Book Description
In 2010, the ALPHA collaboration achieved a first for mankind: the stable, long-term storage of atomic antimatter, a project carried out a the Antiproton Decelerator facility at CERN. A crucial element of this observation was a dedicated silicon vertexing detector used to identify and analyze antihydrogen annihilations. This thesis reports the methods used to reconstruct the annihilation location. Specifically, the methods used to identify and extrapolate charged particle tracks and estimate the originating annihilation location are outlined. Finally, the experimental results demonstrating the first-ever magnetic confinement of antihydrogen atoms are presented. These results rely heavily on the silicon detector, and as such, the role of the annihilation vertex reconstruction is emphasized.

Cpt And Lorentz Symmetry
Author: V Alan Kostelecky
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814543659
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
The First Meeting on CPT and Lorentz Symmetry, held at Indiana University in November, 1998, focused on recent developments involving tests of the fundamental space-time symmetries, including both experimental and theoretical aspects. The topics covered were: theoretical descriptions of and constraints on possible violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry; experimental bounds from measurements on K, B and D mesons; precision comparisons of particle and antiparticle properties (anomalous moments, charge-to-mass ratios, lifetimes, etc.); spectroscopy of hydrogen and antihydrogen; clock-comparison tests; properties of light; etc.

Book Description
The TCP06 conference in Canada showcased the impressive progress in the study of fundamental physics using trapped charged particles. The combination of overview articles by leaders in the field and detailed reports on recent research results will without doubt make these proceedings an extremely useful reference for researchers within the community, but also for those who study similar physics with different techniques, or use trapping methods for different purposes.

Laser Control of Atoms and Molecules
Author: Vladilen Letokhov
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191523712
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Rather different problems can be lumped together under the general term 'laser control of atoms and molecules'. They include the laser selection of atomic and molecular velocities for the purpose of Doppler-free spectroscopy, laser control of the position and velocity of atoms (i.e. laser trapping and cooling of atoms), and laser control of atomic and molecular processes (ionization, dissociation) with a view of detecting single atoms and molecules and particularly separating isotopes and nuclear isomers. Over the last decades the principal problems posed have been successfully solved, and many of them have evolved remarkably in the subsequent investigations of the international research community. For example, the solution of the problem of laser cooling and trapping of atoms has given birth to the new field of the physics of ultracold matter, i.e. quantum atomic and molecular gases. The laser non-coherent control of uni-molecular processes has found an interesting extension in the field of laser coherent control of molecules. The concept of laser control of position has been successfully demonstrated with microparticles (optical tweezers), concurrently with investigations into atomic control. The laser photo-ionization of molecules on surfaces has led to the development of novel techniques of laser-assisted mass spectrometry of macromolecules, and so on. The aim of this book is to review these topics from a unified or 'coherent' point of view. It will be useful for many readers in various fields of laser science and its applications.
