Description

The ALPHA experiment at CERN was designed to test CPT symmetry through
comparisons of measurements of antihydrogen transition frequencies to those of
hydrogen. I will describe our recent result on the 1S to 2S transition in
antihydrogen. Then I will discuss a new experiment - ALPHA-g - which aims to
study the gravitational interaction between antihydrogen and the Earth.
