ALPHA: A new era of precision for antimatter research

In June 2018, the ALPHA collaboration has reported the most precise direct measurement of antimatter ever made, revealing the spectral structure of the antihydrogen atom in unprecedented colour. In this video, Jeffrey Hangst, ALPHA spokesperson, talks about this latest result, which opens a completely new era of high-precision tests between matter and antimatter.
