First measurement of the antihydrogen production cross section through the charge-exchange reaction of low-energy antiprotons with orthopositronium

GBAR Collaboration, P. Adrich, I. Belosevic +42

The GBAR experiment has measured the formation rate of antihydrogen from antiproton impact on a positronium cloud for antiproton kinetic energies of 4 and 6 keV. This is the first…

Monitoring antiproton numbers with a CMOS detector in a dense-track environment

C. Regenfus, P. Adrich, I. Belosevic +42

The production of antihydrogen by the GBAR experiment at AD/ELENA requires good knowledge of the number of incident keV antiprotons, which can be problematic. We have used a commer…

A determination of the backscattering probability of low-energy antiprotons

GBAR Collaboration, K. Park, E. Perez +42

It is commonly assumed that antiprotons impinging on a material surface annihilate promptly with the nuclei of the material. However, at kinetic energies of a few keV, this assumpt…

Record accumulation of antiprotons in a Penning-Malmberg Trap and their preparation for improved production of antihydrogen beams

B. Lee, B. Kim, P. Adrich +35

CERN's AD/ELENA ``antimatter factory'' - unique worldwide - serves several experiments, all of which use electromagnetic traps to accumulate antiprotons for fundamental science. Th…

Production of antihydrogen atoms by 6 keV antiprotons through a positronium cloud

P. Adrich, P. Blumer, G. Caratsch +61

We report on the first production of an antihydrogen beam by charge exchange of 6.1 keV antiprotons with a cloud of positronium in the GBAR experiment at CERN. The antiproton beam…

Positron accumulation in the GBAR experiment

P. Blumer, M. Charlton, M. Chung +67

We present a description of the GBAR positron (e+) trapping apparatus, which consists of a three stage Buffer Gas Trap (BGT) followed by a High Field Penning Trap (HFT), and discus…

Positron production using a 9 MeV electron linac for the GBAR experiment

M. Charlton, J. J. Choi, M. Chung +67

For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source of slow positrons, which uses…

First search for invisible decays of ortho-positronium confined in a vacuum cavity

C. Vigo, L. Gerchow, L. Liszkay +2

The experimental setup and results of the first search for invisible decays of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) confined in a vacuum cavity are reported. No evidence of invisible decays at…

Spatial confinement of muonium atoms

K. S. Khaw, A. Antognini, T. Prokscha +4

We report the achievement of spatial confinement of muonium atoms (the bound state of a positive muon and an electron). Muonium emitted into vacuum from mesoporous silica reflects…

Muonium emission into vacuum from mesoporous thin films at cryogenic temperatures

A. Antognini, P. Crivelli, T. Prokscha +9

We report on Muonium (Mu) emission into vacuum following μ+ implantation in mesoporous thin SiO2 films. We obtain a yield of Mu into vacuum of (38\pm4)% at 250 K temperature and (2…

Measurement of the ortho-positronium confinement energy in mesoporous thin films

Paolo Crivelli, Ulisse Gendotti, André Rubbia +3

In this paper, we present measurements of the ortho-positronium emission energy in vacuum from mesoporous films using the time of flight technique. We show evidence of quantum mech…
