Gerald Gabrielse

Gabrielse carries out tests of fundamental physics with table-top experiments employing methods from atomic, molecular and optical physics. His measurements are among the most precise in all of science, and are sensitive to new physics effects that can be probed in no other way. His experiments, based on a long series of innovations, complement much larger and much more costly high-energy experiments, especially his unmatched measurement of the magnetic moment of the electron and his measurement of the electric dipole moment of the electron. He started the field of low-energy anti-proton and anti-hydrogen physics and performed the first measurements of the anti-proton magnetic moment and the properties of anti-hydrogen.
