* Abstract :
Since the first trapped antihydrogen in 2010 [1] and observing its long lifetime in the 0.5 K deep neutral atom trap [2], experiments have been performed on the anti-atom resulting in the observation of resonant transitions between the hyperfine states of the ground state [3], experimental limits on the ratio of the gravitational mass to the inertial mass of antimatter [4] and an experimental limit on the charge of antihydrogen [5,6]. We will give an overview of the ALPHA experiment [7] and present some the results originating from recent experiments on trapped antihydrogen.
