For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source of slow positrons, which uses a low-energy electron linear accelerator (linac). The driver linac produces electrons of 9 MeV kinetic energy that create positrons from bremsstrahlung-induced pair production. [...]

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. [...]

Production of antihydrogen atoms by 6 keV antiprotons through a positronium cloud

(Zurich, ETH) ; Dalkarov, O. (Unlisted) ; Debu, P. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Douillet, A. (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel ; U. Evry) et al.
We report on the first production of an antihydrogen beam by charge exchange of 6.1 keV antiprotons with a cloud of positronium in the GBAR experiment at CERN. The antiproton beam was delivered by the AD/ELENA facility. [...]

The large inner Micromegas modules for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer Upgrade: construction, quality control and characterization
/ Allard, J. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Andari, N. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Anfreville, M. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Attié, D. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Aubernon, E. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Aune, S. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bachacou, H. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Balli, F. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Bauer, F. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Beltramelli, J. (IRFU, Saclay) et al.
The steadily increasing luminosity of the LHC requires an upgrade with high-rate and high-resolution detector technology for the inner end cap of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: the New Small Wheels (NSW). In order to achieve the goal of precision tracking at a hit rate of about 15 kHz/cm$^2$ at the inner radius of the NSW, large area Micromegas quadruplets with 100 \microns spatial resolution per plane have been produced.

A pulsed high-voltage decelerator system to deliver low-energy antiprotons
/ Husson, A (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Kim, B H (Seoul Natl. U., Dept. Phys. Astron.) ; Welker, A (CERN) ; Charlton, M (Swansea U.) ; Choi, J J (Seoul Natl. U., Dept. Phys. Astron.) ; Chung, M (UNIST, Ulsan) ; Cladé, P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (IRFU, Saclay) ; Crépin, P -P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Crivelli, P (Zurich, ETH-CSCS/SCSC) et al.
The GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN requires efficient deceleration of 100 keV antiprotons provided by the new ELENA synchrotron ring to synthesize antihydrogen. This is accomplished using electrostatic deceleration optics and a drift tube that is designed to switch from -99 kV to ground when the antiproton bunch is inside – essentially a charged particle “elevator” – producing a 1 keV pulse.

Development of a PbWO$_4$ Detector for Single-Shot Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy at the GBAR Experiment
/ Kim, B H (Seoul Natl. U.) ; Choi, J J (Seoul Natl. U.) ; Chung, M (UNIST, Ulsan) ; Cladé, P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (IRFU, Saclay) ; Crivelli, P (Zurich, ETH) ; Crépin, P-P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Dalkarov, O (Lebedev Inst.) ; Debu, P (IRFU, Saclay) ; Dodd, L (Swansea U.) et al.
We have developed a PbWO$_{4}$ (PWO) detector with a large dynamic range to measure the intensity of a positron beam and the absolute density of the ortho-positronium ($\mathrm{o-Ps}$) cloud it creates. A simulation study shows that a setup based on such detectors may be used to determine the angular distribution of the emission and reflection of $\mathrm{o-Ps}$ to reduce part of the uncertainties of the measurement.
