• CP LEAR experiment which reported an evidence for time reversal violation
• KTeV experiment which reported an evidence for time reversal violation
• CERN experiment which produced and detected anti-hydrogen. I couldn't find information on the trapped anti-hydrogen and its spectrum, however. Maybe it was my misrecollection.

This course introduces quantum field theory with a special emphasis on quantum electrodynamics (QED). QED is probably the most precisely tested physical theory verified down to the 12th digit of electron magnetic moment, and is relevant to broad areas of physics such as atmoic, nuclear, particle physics and astrophysics.
