Motivation
Testing Fundamental Symmetries:
• CPT Invariance is a fundamental property of QFT
• Properties of the hydrogen atom are among the most precisely measuredquantities in physics
• Hydrogen-antihydrogen comparison may provide one of the best tests of CPTinvariance

Summary
ALPHA has been testing matter-antimatter symmetry in various ways.Our latest microwave spectroscopy publication achieved a factor of 200 precision overour first measurement.
A new measurement addressesseveral key systematics (currentlyunder analysis):– The magnetic field drift within asequence– The drift of the external solenoidbetween runs
We expect a 20-fold improvement in precision.

Prospects for Microwave Measurements
• Development for a future NMR transition measurement is on-going
• With ever higher trapping rates, better field control, and possible laser coolingapplications we hope to achieve even higher precisions
• Testing CPT invariance to even higher precision, we are pushing the frontiers ofhuman knowledge
