/ Lansonneur, P (Lyon, IPN) ; Aghion, S (Milan, Polytech. ; INFN, Milan) ; Amsler, C (Stefan Meyer Inst. Subatomare Phys.) ; Bonomi, G (U. Brescia ; INFN, Pavia) ; Brusa, R S (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Caravita, R (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) ; Castelli, F (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Cerchiari, G (Heidelberg, Max Planck Inst.) ; Comparat, D (LAC, Orsay) et al.
The AEGIS experiment 1 (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) is planned to perform the first measurement of the gravitational acceleration on antimatter by observing the free fall of antihydrogen atoms. By combining techniques based on recent developments in the production of positronium and its laser excitation to Rydberg states, such a study seems indeed to be feasible for neutral antimatter.

Hybrid Imaging and Timing Ps Laser Excitation Diagnostics for Pulsed Antihydrogen Production
/ Caravita, R (CERN) ; Antonello, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Belov, A (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, G (Brescia U. ; INFN, Pavia) ; Brusa, R S (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Camper, A (CERN) ; Castelli, F (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Comparat, D (LAC, Orsay) ; Consolati, G (INFN, Milan ; Milan Polytechnic) et al.
In this work we present a hybrid detection method providing simultaneous imaging and timing information suitable for fully monitoring positronium (Ps) formation, its laser excitation, and its spatial propagation for the first trials of pulsed antihydrogen ($\bar{H}$) production through a charge-exchange reaction with trapped antiprotons ($\bar{p}$). This combined method, based on the synchronous acquisition of an EJ-200 scintillation detector and a microchannel plate (MCP) detector with a dual readout (phosphor screen image and electrical pick-up signal), allows all relevant events in the experiment to be accurately determined in time while allowing high resolution images of e$^{+}$ from Ps laser photodissociations to be acquired.

Astron.) ; Nebbia, G (INFN, Padua) ; Brusa, R S (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento)
A novel method for the measurement of the number of positrons contained in intense positron bunches is presented. The technique is based on the Poisson distribution of the number of gamma rays emitted by many simultaneous positron–electron annihilations in a small solid angle. [...]

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. [...]

Calibration and Equalisation of Plastic Scintillator Detectors for Antiproton Annihilation Identification Over Positron/Positronium Background
/ Zurlo, Nicola (U. Brescia ; INFN, Pavia) ; Amsler, C (Stefan Meyer Inst. Subatomare Phys.) ; Antonello, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Belov, A (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, G (INFN, Pavia ; Brescia U.) ; Brusah, R S (TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Camper, A (CERN) ; Caravita, R (CERN) ; Castelli, F (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) et al.
In this contribution, the system of the external plastic scintillator slabs of the AEgIS experiment is presented. These slabs, surrounding the superconducting magnet and operating at room temperature, are read out by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) that are calibrated and equalised to be exploited as a whole detector with useful segmentation and redundancy to effectively detect single antiparticle annihilations.
