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…
A cryogenic tracking detector for antihydrogen detection in the AEgIS experiment
C. Amsler, M. Antonello, A. Belov +55
We present the commissioning of the Fast Annihilation Cryogenic Tracker detector (FACT), installed around the antihydrogen production trap inside the 1 T superconducting magnet of…
A new anti-neutrino detection technique based on positronium tagging with plastic scintillators
G. Consolati, D. Franco, C. Jollet +4
The main signature for anti-neutrino detection in reactor and geo-neutrino experiments based on scintillators is provided by the space-time coincidence of positron and neutron prod…
Annihilation of low energy antiprotons in silicon
S. Aghion, O. Ahlén, A. S. Belov +56
The goal of the AEIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN, is to measure directly the Earth's gravitational acceleration on antimatter. To achiev…
Characterization of positronium properties in doped liquid scintillators
G. Consolati, D. Franco, S. Hans +5
Ortho-positronium (o-Ps) formation and decay can replace the annihilation process, when positron interacts in liquid scintillator media. The delay induced by the positronium decay…
Measurement of ortho-Positronium Properties in Liquid Scintillators
S. Perasso, G. Consolati, D. Franco +5
Pulse shape discrimination in liquid scintillator detectors is a well-established technique for the discrimination of heavy particles from light particles. Nonetheless, it is not e…
Positronium signature in organic liquid scintillators for neutrino experiments
D. Franco, G. Consolati, D. Trezzi
Electron anti-neutrinos are commonly detected in liquid scintillator experiments via inverse beta decay, by looking at the coincidence between the reaction products, neutron and po…
