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…
Observation of a magnetic shift in neutron whispering-gallery states
K. Schreiner, J. A. Pioquinto, S. Baeßler +19
We developed experimental and theoretical methods to create and describe high-resolution whispering-gallery interference patterns and show the feasibility of measuring their small…
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…
Cryogenic source of atomic tritium for neutrino-mass measurements and precision spectroscopy
Aleksei Semakin, Janne Ahokas, Tom Kiilerich +9
We propose a concept for a cryogenic source of atomic tritium at sub-Kelvin temperatures and energies suitable for magnetic trapping. The source is based on the dissociation of sol…
Gravitational and other shifts of whispering gallery and gravitational state interference patterns of light neutral particles
V. V. Nesvizhevsky, J. A. Pioquinto, K. Schreiner +7
We discuss small shifts in the interference patterns of gravitational and whispering gallery quantum states that can be observed with neutrons, atoms, antiatoms, muonium, positroni…
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…
