Popis: High-accuracy spectroscopic comparisons of trapped antihydrogen atoms ($\overline{\text{H}}$) and hydrogen atoms ($\text{H}$) promise to stringently test the fundamental CPT symmetry invariance of the standard model of particle physics. ATRAP's nested Penning-Ioffe trap was developed for such studies. The first of its unique features is that its magnetic Ioffe trap for $\overline{\text{H}}$ atoms can be switched between quadrupole and octupole symmetries. The second is that it allows laser and microwave access perpendicular to the central axis of the traps.
