ALPHA-g

ALPHA-g is an experimental physics instrument designed to measure anti-hydrogen atoms—antimatter versions of hydrogen. It aims to precisely compare how antimatter responds to gravity with how normal matter does. By studying these interactions, scientists hope to understand if antimatter behaves differently under gravity, which could provide insights into the fundamental laws of physics and the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance. ALPHA-g uses advanced sensors and magnetic fields to detect and analyze anti-hydrogen atoms, making it a key tool in exploring the nature of antimatter and gravity at a fundamental level.
