ALPHA (Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus) is an international collaboration based at CERN which studies of antihydrogen atoms, the antimatter counterpart of the simplest atom, hydrogen. By comparisons of hydrogen and antihydrogen, the experiment hopes to understand fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter.
ALPHA-Canada
The Canadian group (ALPHA-Canada) is a significant group in ALPHA, constituting more than one-third of the international collaboration. ALPHA-Canada consists of a dozen researchers and students from five Canadian institutions (UBC, Calgary, SFU, York, and TRIUMF). The Canadian team plays a leading role in both the particle physics and the atomic spectroscopy aspects of the experiment.
