Description

The advent of high-precision antihydrogen spectroscopy has opened up the�possibility of direct tests with unprecedented accuracy of some of the�most fundamental principles of physics, notably Lorentz and CPT symmetry�and the Einstein equivalence principle. This book reviews these principles, emphasising their interconnections in�quantum field theory and general relativity and the special role of�antimatter, and explores how they may be tested in current and forthcoming�experiments on antihydrogen. Original research results relevant to the�experimental programme of the ALPHA collaboration at CERN are presented,�together with the implications for antihydrogen of proposed theories�featuring novel `fifth-force’ interactions.Typham this is the title: Antihydrogen and Fundamental Physics
