A system for online beam emittance measurements and proton beam characterization
K. P. Nesteruk, M. Auger, S. Braccini +3
A system for online measurement of the transverse beam emittance was developed. It is named PrOBaM (4-Profiler Online Beam Emittance Measurement) and was conceiv…
Detection of low energy antimatter with emulsions
S. Aghion, A. Ariga, T. Ariga +10
Emulsion detectors feature a very high position resolution and consequently represent an ideal device when particle detection is required at the micrometric scale. This is the case…
Prospects for measuring the gravitational free-fall of antihydrogen with emulsion detectors
AEgIS Collaboration, S. Aghion, O. Ahlén +68
The main goal of the AEgIS experiment at CERN is to test the weak equivalence principle for antimatter. AEgIS will measure the free-fall of an antihydrogen beam traversing a moiré…
A new application of emulsions to measure the gravitational force on antihydrogen
C. Amsler, A. Ariga, T. Ariga +9
We propose to build and operate a detector based on the emulsion film technology for the measurement of the gravitational acceleration on antimatter, to be performed by the AEgIS e…
Nuclear emulsions for the detection of micrometric-scale fringe patterns: an application to positron interferometry
S. Aghion, A. Ariga, M. Bollani +8
Nuclear emulsions are capable of very high position resolution in the detection of ionizing particles. This feature can be exploited to directly resolve the micrometric-scale fring…
Measurement of antiproton annihilation on Cu, Ag and Au with emulsion films
S. Aghion, C. Amsler, A. Ariga +69
The characteristics of low energy antiproton annihilations on nuclei (e.g. hadronization and product multiplicities) are not well known, and Monte Carlo simulation packages that us…
