TALOS (Total Automation of LabVIEW Operations for Science): A framework for autonomous control systems for complex experiments
M. Volponi, J. ZieliÅski, T. Rauschendorfer +52
Modern physics experiments are frequently very complex, relying on multiple simultaneous events to happen in order to obtain the desired result. The experiment control system plays…
Producing long-lived Ps via laser excitation in magnetic and electric fields
S. Aghion, C. Amsler, M. Antonello +62
Producing positronium (Ps) in the metastable state is of interest for various applications in fundamental physics. We report here about an experiment in which Ps atom…
Feasibility studies for imaging ee annihilation with modular multi-strip detectors
S. Sharma, L. Povolo, S. Mariazzi +41
Studies based on imaging the annihilation of the electron (e) and its antiparticle positron (e) open up several interesting applications in nuclear medicine and fundame…
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…
Positronium laser cooling via the - transition with a broadband laser pulse
L. T. Glöggler, N. Gusakova, B. Rienäcker +49
We report on laser cooling of a large fraction of positronium (Ps) in free-flight by strongly saturating the - transition with a broadband, long-pulsed 243 nm alexandri…
Velocity selected production of metastable positronium
C. Amsler, M. Antonello, A. Belov +52
Positronium in the metastable state exhibits a low electrical polarizability and a long lifetime (1140 ns) making it a promising candidate for interferometry experiments wit…
