Spectrometry of Captured Highly Charged Ions Produced Following Antiproton Annihilations
F. P. Gustafsson, M. Volponi, J. Zielinski +61
We report a proof-of-principle study demonstrating the first capture and time-of-flight spectrometry of highly charged ions (HCIs) produced following antiproton annihilations in a…
AEgIS Experiment at CERN: Design and Commissioning of SARA (Scintillator Assemblies to Reveal Annihilations)
P. Conte, G. Consolati, M. Prata +12
SARA is the system of plastic scintillators coupled with silicon photomultipliers that will take part in the AEgIS experiment at CERN, measuring the time-of-flight of antihydrogen…
Real-time antiproton annihilation vertexing with sub-micron resolution
M. Berghold, D. Orsucci, F. Guatieri +63
The primary goal of the AEgIS experiment is to precisely measure the free fall of antihydrogen within Earth's gravitational field. To this end, a cold ~50K antihydrogen beam has to…
Imaging low-energy positron beams in real-time with unprecedented resolution
Michael Berghold, Vassily Vadimovitch Burwitz, Lucian Mathes +2
Particle beams focused to micrometer-sized spots play a crucial role in forefront research using low-energy positrons. Their expedient and wide application, however, requires highl…
