Gerald Gabrielse, Leverett Professor of Physics at Harvard University, leads and enjoys a variety of atomic, optical, elementary particle, plasma and low temperature physics experiments. Very recently he and his students made the most accurate measurements of the electron magnetic moment and the fine structure constant. He leads the international ATRAP Collaboration (at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland) that made cold antihydrogen atoms with a view to probing these antimatter atoms with accurate laser spectroscopy. The Tom Stoppard play “Hapgood” and the current best seller “Angels and Demons” are fictionalizations of his antiproton work.
