The validity of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) as predicted by General Relativity has been tested up to astounding precision using ordinary matter. The lack hitherto of a stable source of a probe being at the same time electrically neutral, cold and stable enough to be measured has prevented highaccuracy testing of the WEP on anti-matter. [...]

Forming a pulsed beam of cold antihydrogen using charge-exchange with Rydberg positronium (Ps) is the goal of the AEḡIS collaboration, which aims to a first gravity measurement on neutral antimatter. Recently achieved results in Ps formation and laser spectroscopy in the main AEḡIS apparatus are summarized. [...]

Hybrid Imaging and Timing Ps Laser Excitation Diagnostics for Pulsed Antihydrogen Production
/ Caravita, R (CERN) ; Antonello, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Belov, A (Moscow, INR) ; Bonomi, G (Brescia U. ; INFN, Pavia) ; Brusa, R S (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Caccia, M (INFN, Milan ; Insubria U., Como) ; Camper, A (CERN) ; Castelli, F (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Comparat, D (LAC, Orsay) ; Consolati, G (INFN, Milan ; Milan Polytechnic) et al.
In this work we present a hybrid detection method providing simultaneous imaging and timing information suitable for fully monitoring positronium (Ps) formation, its laser excitation, and its spatial propagation for the first trials of pulsed antihydrogen ($\bar{H}$) production through a charge-exchange reaction with trapped antiprotons ($\bar{p}$). This combined method, based on the synchronous acquisition of an EJ-200 scintillation detector and a microchannel plate (MCP) detector with a dual readout (phosphor screen image and electrical pick-up signal), allows all relevant events in the experiment to be accurately determined in time while allowing high resolution images of e$^{+}$ from Ps laser photodissociations to be acquired.

In this work, we show recent measurements of $2^{3}S$ long-lived positronium production via spontaneous decay from the 3 3P level. The possibility to tune the velocity of the $2^{3}S$ positronium, excited following this scheme, is presented [...]

From the experimental point of view, very little is known about the gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter. In particular, the Weak Equivalence Principle, which is of paramount importance for the General Relativity, has not yet been directly probed with antimatter. [...]
