Optimizing Antihydrogen Production via Slow Plasma Merging

E D Hunter, M Bumbar, C Amsler +29

We measure the time-dependent temperature and density distribution of antiprotons and positrons while slowly combining them to make antihydrogen atoms in a nested Penning-Malmberg…

Measured Properties of an Antihydrogen Beam

E. D. Hunter, M. Bumbar, C. Amsler +29

We report a factor of increase in the antihydrogen beam intensity downstream of ASACUSA's Cusp trap: atoms detected per -minute run. The beam contains many Rydberg…

Injection and capture of antiprotons in a Penning-Malmberg trap using a drift tube accelerator and degrader foil

C. Amsler, H. Breuker, M. Bumbar +33

The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN provides antiproton bunches with a kinetic energy of 5.3 MeV. The Extra-Low ENergy Antiproton ring at CERN, commissioned at the AD in 2018,…

Upgrade of the positron system of the ASACUSA-Cusp experiment

A. Lanz, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +35

The ASACUSA-Cusp collaboration has recently upgraded the positron system to improve the production of antihydrogen. Previously, the experiment suffered from contamination of the va…

Slow positron production and storage for the ASACUSA-Cusp experiment

D. J. Murtagh, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +35

The ASACUSA Cusp experiment requires the production of dense positron plasmas with a high repetition rate to produce a beam of antihydrogen. In this work, details of the positron p…

GRASIAN: Towards the first demonstration of gravitational quantum states of atoms with a cryogenic hydrogen beam

Carina Killian, Zakary Burkley, Philipp Blumer +12

At very low energies, a light neutral particle above a horizontal surface can experience quantum reflection. The quantum reflection holds the particle against gravity and leads to…

A Rydberg hydrogen beam for studies of stimulated deexcitation

Tim Wolz, Maxime Allemand, Daniel Comparat +7

We present a Rydberg hydrogen beamline developed to commission techniques of stimulated deexcitation for application in antihydrogen experiments at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator. T…

Minimizing plasma temperature for antimatter mixing experiments

E. D. Hunter, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +37

The ASACUSA collaboration produces a beam of antihydrogen atoms by mixing pure positron and antiproton plasmas in a strong magnetic field with a double cusp geometry. The positrons…

Towards Measuring the Ground State Hyperfine Splitting of Antihydrogen -- A Progress Report

C. Sauerzopf, A. Capon, M. Diermaier +28

We report the successful commissioning and testing of a dedicated field-ioniser chamber for measuring principal quantum number distributions in antihydrogen as part of the ASACUSA…

Numerical Simulations of Hyperfine Transitions of Antihydrogen

B. Kolbinger, A. Capon, M. Diermaier +6

One of the ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) collaboration's goals is the measurement of the ground state hyperfine transition frequency in antihy…
