Antihydrogen studies with ATHENA — •Alban Kellerbauer — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Postfach 103980, 69029 Heidelberg

The ATHENA experiment at CERN was the first to produce cold antihydrogen atoms in 2002 by mixing antiprotons and a positron plasma. During the following years, the antihydrogen formation processes and the properties of the produced anti-atoms were studied in detail. The setup of the experiment will be briefly reviewed and the most recent results presented.
