The radial Time projection chamber will measure the position ofanti-hydrogen annihilations by detecting the trajectories of particlesproduced in the annihilation reactions. This will be used to study thegravitational force on antimatter in the Alpha-g experiment.

The American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics awarded its John Dawson award for excellence in plasma physics research to several ALPHA members.
Physics World, the international physics magazine produced by the Institute of Physics, has named ALPHA's recent trapping of antihydrogen as part of the #1 physics breakthrough of 2010.
