We report on a Q-switched alexandrite based ∼100ns long pulse duration ultra-violet laser system. The central wavelength of the fundamental pulse is set by a Volume Bragg Grating in reflection and can be tuned between 728nm and 742nm. [...]

Pulsed Production of Antihydrogen in AEgIS
/ AEgIS Collaboration
Cold antihydrogen atoms are a powerful tool to probe the validity of fundamental physics laws, and it's clear that colder atoms, generally speaking, allow an increased level of precision.
After the first production of cold antihydrogen ($\bar{H}$) in 2002, experimental efforts have progressed continuously (trapping, beam formation, spectroscopy), with competitive results already achieved by adapting to cold antiatoms techniques previously well developed for ordinary atoms. Unfortunately, the number of $\bar{H}$ atoms that can be produced in dedicated experiments is many orders of magnitude smaller than available hydrogen atoms, which are at hand in large amount, so the development of novel techniques that allow the production of $\bar{H}$ with well defined conditions (and possibly control its formation time and energy levels) is essential to improve the sensitivity of the methods applied by the different experiments.
We present here the first experimental results concerning the production of $\bar{H}$ in a pulsed mode where the time when 90\% of
the atoms are produced is known with an uncertainty of around 250~ns. [...]

The AEgIS experiment located at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN aims to measure the gravitational fall of a cold antihydrogen pulsed beam. The precise observation of the antiatoms in the Earth gravitational field requires a controlled production and manipulation of antihydrogen. [...]

The validity of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) as predicted by General Relativity has been tested up to astounding precision using ordinary matter. The lack hitherto of a stable source of a probe being at the same time electrically neutral, cold and stable enough to be measured has prevented highaccuracy testing of the WEP on anti-matter. [...]

Forming a pulsed beam of cold antihydrogen using charge-exchange with Rydberg positronium (Ps) is the goal of the AEḡIS collaboration, which aims to a first gravity measurement on neutral antimatter. Recently achieved results in Ps formation and laser spectroscopy in the main AEḡIS apparatus are summarized. [...]

High-resolution MCP-TimePix3 imaging/timing detector for antimatter physics
/ Glöggler, L (CERN ; Berlin, Tech. U.) ; Caravita, R (INFN, Trento) ; Auzins, M (Latvia U.) ; Bergmann, B (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Brusa, R S (INFN, Trento ; Trento U.) ; Burian, P (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Camper, A (Oslo U.) ; Castelli, F (Milan U.) ; Cheinet, P (LAC, Orsay) ; Ciuryło, R (Torun, Copernicus Astron. Ctr.) et al.
We present a hybrid imaging/timing detector for force sensitive inertial measurements designed for measurements on positronium, the metastable bound state of an electron and a positron, but also suitable for applications involving other low intensity, low energy beams of neutral (antimatter)-atoms, such as antihydrogen. The performance of the prototype detector was evaluated with a tunable low energy positron beam, resulting in a spatial resolution of 12 mm, a detection efficiency of up to 40% and a time-resolution in the order of tens of ns..

We have performed a study of several cesium oven designs. A comparison between recirculating (or sticking-wall) or collimating (or reemitting-wall) ovens is made in order to extract the most efficient design in terms of beam brightness. [...]
