In-beam measurement of the hydrogen hyperfine splitting and prospects for antihydrogen spectroscopy

Comparing the ground-state hyperfine structure of antihydrogen to that of hydrogen will provide insights into CPT symmetry in nature. Here the authors report the most precise in-beam measurement of this quantity for hydrogen to demonstrate the viability of ASACUSA’s setup to measure it in antihydrog...
