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…

Quantum interference test of the equivalence principle on antihydrogen

P. -P. Crépin, C. Christen, R. Guérout +3

We propose to use quantum interferences to improve the accuracy of the measurement of the free fall acceleration g of antihydrogen in the GBAR experiment. This method uses most ant…

Prospects for studies of the free fall and gravitational quantum states of antimatter

Gabriel Dufour, David B. Cassidy, Paolo Crivelli +6

Different experiments are ongoing to measure the effect of gravity on cold neutral antimatter atoms such as positronium, muonium and antihydrogen. Among those, the project GBAR in…

Quantum Reflection of Antihydrogen in the GBAR Experiment

Gabriel Dufour, Romain Guérout, Astrid Lambrecht +3

In the GBAR experiment, cold antihydrogen atoms will be left to fall on an annihilation plate with the aim of measuring the gravitational acceleration of antimatter. Here, we study…

Shaping the distribution of vertical velocities of antihydrogen in GBAR

Gabriel Dufour, Pascal Debu, Astrid Lambrecht +3

GBAR is a project aiming at measuring the free fall acceleration of gravity for antimatter, namely antihydrogen atoms (). Precision of this timing experiment…

The GRANIT project: Status and Perspectives

Stephan Baeßler, Alexei Gagarski, Ludmilla Grigorieva +8

The GRANIT project is the follow-up of the pioneering experiments that first observed the quantum states of neutrons trapped in the earth's gravitational field at the Institute Lau…

Casimir interaction between a dielectric nanosphere and a metallic plane

Antoine Canaguier-Durand, Antoine Gérardin, Romain Guérout +5

We study the Casimir interaction between a dielectric nanosphere and a metallic plane, using the multiple scattering theory. Exact results are obtained with the dielectric describe…
