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. [...]

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..

Antihydrogen atoms with K or sub-K temperature are a powerful tool to precisely probe the validity of fundamental physics laws and the design of highly sensitive experiments needs antihydrogen with controllable and well defined conditions. We present here experimental results on the production of antihydrogen in a pulsed mode in which the time when 90% of the atoms are produced is known with an uncertainty of ~250 ns. [...]
