Research

HAICU is a platform to develop quantum sensing techniques on H

Pathfinder for the next generation of antihydrogen experiments

H trapping and detection compatible with ALPHA antihydrogen magnetic trap at CERN

Goal: compare hydrogen and antihydrogen to highest attainable precision

• spectroscopy

• gravity

Reduce main sources of systematic errors in ALPHA –> (Anti-)Atomic fountain

• Magnetic field gradient (necessary for trapping) –> Field-free region
• Transit time (line broadening in spectroscopy) –> Long interaction time

Key Concept​s:

• Hydrogen as a proxy for antihydrogen

• Novel cooling method ​

• Ultracold or high density​

• Launch into free space
