Implementation of a coherent Lyman-alpha source for laser cooling and spectroscopy of antihydrogen

This dissertation describes two related projects: the development of a coherent Lyman-α source and the implementation of a supersonic hydrogen beam. A two-photon resonance-enhanced four wave mixing process in krypton is used to generate high power coherent radiation at ωLy_α ⇒ 121.56 nm, the hydroge...
