Confinement of antihydrogen for 1,000 seconds

TLDR
Antihydrogen has been created, trapped and stored for 1,000 years and the improved holding time means that we now have access to the ground state of antimatter, long enough to test whether matter and antimatter obey the same physical laws as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Antihydrogen has been created, trapped and stored for 1,000 s. The improved holding time means that we now have access to the ground state of antimatter—long enough to test whether matter and antimatter obey the same physical laws.

Search for New Physics with Atoms and Molecules

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the application of atomic physics to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics and test the principles of general relativity.

Torsion-balance tests of the weak equivalence principle

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly summarize motivations for testing the weak equivalence principle and then review recent torsion-balance results that compare the differential accelerations of beryllium-aluminum and beryellium-titanium test-body pairs with precisions at the part in 1013 level.

Progress in atomic fountains at LNE-SYRTE

TL;DR: An overview of the work done with the Laboratoire National de Metrologie et d'Essais-Systemes de Reference Temps-Espace (LNE-SYRTE) fountain ensemble during the last five years is given, and recent studies of several systematic frequency shifts are reviewed.

Plasma and trap-based techniques for science with positrons

TL;DR: There has been a wealth of new science involving low-energy antimatter (i.e., positrons and antiprotons) at energies ranging from 10 to less than 10 eV as mentioned in this paper.

Background-free observation of cold antihydrogen with field-ionization analysis of its states.

TL;DR: A background-free observation of cold antihydrogen atoms is made using field ionization followed by antiproton storage, a detection method that provides the first experimental information aboutAntihydrogen atomic states, suggesting that the antiHydrogen is formed via three-body recombination.
