/ Camper, Antoine (CERN) ; Aghion, Stefano (Milan Polytechnic ; INFN, Milan) ; Amsler, Claude (Stefan Meyer Inst. Subatomare Phys.) ; Antonello, Massimiliano (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Belov, Alexander (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, Germano (INFM, Brescia ; INFN, Pavia) ; Brusa, Roberto (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, Massimo (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Caravita, Ruggero (CERN) ; Castelli, Fabrizio (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) et al.
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. [...]

A fiber detector to monitor ortho-Ps formation and decay
/ Rienäcker, Benjamin (CERN) ; Brusa, Roberto Sennen (U. Trento (main) ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caravita, Ruggero (TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Mariazzi, Sebastiano (TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Penasa, L. (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Pino, Felix (U. Padua, Dept. Phys. Astron.) ; Ranum, Oline Aas (U. Amsterdam, GRAPPA) ; Nebbia, Giancarlo (INFN, Padua)
We describe a novel method to use a scintillating fiber detector similar to the Fast Annihilation Cryogenic Tracking (FACT) used at the antimatter experiment AE$\bar{g}$IS to monitor the presence of ortho-positronium. A single scintillating fiber was coupled to a photomultiplier tube and irradiated by flashes of about 6 x 10$^{6}$ 511 keV $\gamma$-rays produced by $\approx10\,\text{ns}$ long positron pulses. [...]

Pulsed production of antihydrogen
/ Amsler, Claude (Stefan Meyer Inst. Subatomare Phys.) ; Antonello, Massimiliano (Insubria U., Como ; INFN, Milan) ; Belov, Alexander (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, Germano (U. Brescia ; INFN, Pavia) ; Brusa, Roberto Sennen (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, Massimo (Insubria U., Como ; INFN, Milan) ; Camper, Antoine (CERN) ; Caravita, Ruggero (TIFPA-INFN, Trento ; CERN) ; Castelli, Fabrizio (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Cheinet, Patrick (LAC, Orsay) et al.
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. [...]

Toward inertial sensing with a 2$^{3}$S positronium beam
/ Mariazzi, Sebastiano (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caravita, Ruggero (TIFPA-INFN, Trento ; CERN) ; Doser, Michael (CERN) ; Nebbia, Giancarlo (INFN, Padua) ; Brusa, Roberto S. (TIFPA-INFN, Trento ; Trento U.)
In this work, we discuss the possibility of inertial sensing with positronium in the $2^3 S$ metastable state for the measurement of optical dipole, relativistic and gravitational forces on a purely leptonic matter-antimatter system. Starting from the characteristics of an available $2^3 S$ beam, we estimate the time necessary to measure accelerations ranging from $\sim10^5$$m/s^2$ to 9.1 $m/s^2$ with two different inertial sensitive devices: a classical moiré deflectometer and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

Compression of a mixed antiproton and electron non-neutral plasma to high densities

We describe a multi-step “rotating wall” compression of a mixed cold antiproton–electron non-neutral plasma in a 4.46 T Penning–Malmberg trap developed in the context of the AEḡIS experiment at CERN. Such traps are routinely used for the preparation of cold antiprotons suitable for antihydrogen production. [...]

Positron Manipulation and Positronium Laser Excitation in AEgIS

Production of antihydrogen by using the charge exchange reaction, as proposed by AEgIS (Antimatter Experiment: gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy), requires the formation of a dense cloud of positronium atoms excited to Rydberg states. In this work, the recent advances in AEgIS towards this result are described. [...]

AEgIS experiment: Towards antihydrogen beam production for antimatter gravity measurements
/ Mariazzi, Sebastiano (Stefan Meyer Inst. Subatomare Phys.) ; Aghion, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan Polytechnic) ; Amsler, Claude (Bern U., LHEP) ; Ariga, Akitaka (Bern U., LHEP) ; Ariga, Tomoko (Bern U., LHEP) ; Belov, Alexandre S (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, Germano (INFN, Pavia ; INFM, Brescia) ; Bräunig, Philippe (Kirchhoff Inst.

AEgIS (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) is an experiment that aims to perform the first direct measurement of the gravitational acceleration g of antihydrogen in the Earth’s field. A cold antihydrogen beam will be produced by charge exchange reaction between cold antiprotons and positronium excited in Rydberg states. [...]
