ATRAP collaboration

ATRAP (Antihydrogen Trap) is a scientific collaboration focused on studying antimatter, specifically antihydrogen. It involves physicists from various institutions working together at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The goal of ATRAP is to create and trap antihydrogen atoms to investigate their properties, which helps scientists understand fundamental questions about the universe, such as why matter predominates over antimatter. By examining antihydrogen, they seek to uncover differences between matter and antimatter, potentially shedding light on the universe's origins and the laws of physics.
