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 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. [...]

Positron accumulation in the GBAR experiment
/ GBAR Collaboration
We present a description of the GBAR positron (e+) trapping apparatus, which consists of a three stage Buffer Gas Trap (BGT) followed by a High Field Penning Trap (HFT), and discuss its performance. The overall goal of the GBAR experiment is to measure the acceleration of the neutral antihydrogen (H) atom in the terrestrial gravitational field by neutralising a positive antihydrogen ion (H+), which has been cooled to a low temperature, and observing the subsequent H annihilation following free fall.

We report on recent developments in positronium work in the frame of antihydrogen production through charge exchange in the AEgIS collaboration [1]. In particular, we present a new technique based on spatially imaging a cloud of positronium by collecting the positrons emitted by photoionization. [...]
