Summary:

Cassidy's group performs precision optical and microwave spectroscopy of positronium -- a purely leptonic electron-positron atom -- to test bound-state QED to high order and search for new physics, most recently a precision microwave measurement of the 2^3S1 to 2^3P2 fine-structure interval. The group is also developing slow, focused positronium beams toward a laboratory measurement of antimatter's gravitational free-fall, continuing UCL's 50-year history of positron physics.
