Anti-hydrogen is the simplest atomic system composed entirely of antiparticles. Anti-hydrogen can be used to test CPT invariance by comparing the spectra of hydrogen and anti-hydrogen atoms. The ALPHA (Anti-hydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus) project at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) aims to confine anti-hydrogen atoms and perform spectroscopy on the trapped anti-atoms. The trapping of anti-hydrogen is the principal goal of the first phase of the experiment. This talk will present progress towards this goal.
