Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (IRFU, Saclay) ; Crivelli, P (Zurich, ETH) ; Crépin, P-P (Paris, Lab.

We have developed a PbWO$_{4}$ (PWO) detector with a large dynamic range to measure the intensity of a positron beam and the absolute density of the ortho-positronium ($\mathrm{o-Ps}$) cloud it creates. A simulation study shows that a setup based on such detectors may be used to determine the angular distribution of the emission and reflection of $\mathrm{o-Ps}$ to reduce part of the uncertainties of the measurement.

/ Husson, A (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Kim, B H (Seoul Natl. U., Dept. Phys. Astron.) ; Welker, A (CERN) ; Charlton, M (Swansea U.) ; Choi, J J (Seoul Natl. U., Dept. Phys.

The GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN requires efficient deceleration of 100 keV antiprotons provided by the new ELENA synchrotron ring to synthesize antihydrogen. This is accomplished using electrostatic deceleration optics and a drift tube that is designed to switch from -99 kV to ground when the antiproton bunch is inside – essentially a charged particle “elevator” – producing a 1 keV pulse.

The Einstein classical Weak Equivalence Principle states that the trajectory of a particle is independent of its composition and internal structure when it is only submitted to gravitational forces. This fundamental principle has never been directly tested with antimatter. [...]

Positron accumulation in the GBAR experiment
/ GBAR Collaboration
We present a description of the GBAR positron (e+) trapping apparatus, which consists of a three stage Buffer Gas Trap (BGT) followed by a High Field Penning Trap (HFT), and discuss its performance. The overall goal of the GBAR experiment is to measure the acceleration of the neutral antihydrogen (H) atom in the terrestrial gravitational field by neutralising a positive antihydrogen ion (H+), which has been cooled to a low temperature, and observing the subsequent H annihilation following free fall. [...]

The GBAR antimatter gravity experiment

The GBAR project (Gravitational Behaviour of Anti hydrogen at Rest) at CERN, aims to measure the free fall acceleration of ultracold neutral anti hydrogen atoms in the terrestrial gravitational field. The experiment consists preparing anti hydrogen ions (one antiproton and two positrons) and sympathetically cooling them with Be$^{+}$ ions to less than 10 μK. [...]

Fundamental physical constants are determined from a collection of precision measurements of elementary particles, atoms and molecules. This is usually done under the assumption of the Standard Model~(SM) of particle physics. [...]

Towards a test of the weak equivalence principle of gravity using anti-hydrogen at CERN
/ Banerjee, D (ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Biraben, F (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Charlton, M (Swansea U.) ; Cladé, P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (CSNSM, Orsay) ; Crivelli, P (ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Dalkarov, O (Lebedev Inst.) ; Debu, P (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Dodd, L (Swansea U.) ; Douillet, A (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) et al.
The aim of the GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antimatter at Rest) experiment is to measure the free fall acceleration of an antihydrogen atom, in the terrestrial gravitational field at CERN and therefore test the Weak Equivalence Principle with antimatter. The aim is to measure the local gravity with a 1% uncertainty which can be reduced to few parts of 10-3..

Positron production using a 9 MeV electron linac for the GBAR experiment

For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source of slow positrons, which uses a low-energy electron linear accelerator (linac). The driver linac produces electrons of 9 MeV kinetic energy that create positrons from bremsstrahlung-induced pair production. [...]
