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…
Cold source of atomic hydrogen for loading large magnetic traps
A. Semakin, J. Ahokas, O. Hanski +8
We present a design and performance tests of an intense source of cold hydrogen atoms for loading large magnetic traps. Our source is based on a cryogenic dissociator of molecular…
