Description
The ALPHA (Antihydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus) experiment, based at CERN, studies the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem through precision measurements of antihydrogen atoms. A key component of this experiment is the microwave injection system, used for controlling atomic spin states and characterizing magnetic fields that trap and release neutral anti-atoms. My project centres on the design and implementation of microwave hardware upgrades, as well as the development of software that analyses microwave power reflection and transmission data for spin state control operations in ALPHA.
