Laser Cooling Positronium with Broadband Laser Pulses
/ Caravita, R (TIFPA/INFN, Trento) ; Alfaro Campos, S ; Auzins, M ; Berghold, M ; Bergmann, B ; Burian, P ; Brusa, R S ; Camper, A ; Castelli, F ; Cerchiari, G et al.
The first successful demonstration of broadband laser cooling of positronium (Ps) atoms, obtained within the AEgIS experiment at CERN, is presented here. By employing a custom-designed pulsed alexandrite laser system at 243 nm featuring long-duration pulses of 70 ns and an energy able to saturate the 1$^{3}$S–2$^{3}$P transition over the broad spectrum range of 360 GHz, the temperature of a room-temperature Ps cloud was reduced from 380 K to 170 K in 70 ns.

Toward a pulsed antihydrogen beam for WEP tests in AEgIS
/ Huck, Saiva (CERN ; Hamburg U.) ; Auzins, Marcis (Latvia U.) ; Bergmann, Benedikt (IEAP CTU, Prague) ; Burian, Petr (IEAP CTU, Prague) ; Brusa, Roberto S (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Camper, Antoine (Oslo U.) ; Caravita, Ruggero (Trento U. ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Castelli, Fabrizio (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Ciuryło, Roman (Torun, Copernicus Astron. Ctr.) ; Consolati, Giovanni (INFN, Milan ; Milan Polytechnic) et al.
The AEg̅IS collaboration at CERN’s AD produces antihydrogen atoms in the form of a pulsed, isotropic source with a precisely defined formation time. AEg̅IS has recently undergone major upgrades to fully benefit from the increased number of colder antiprotons provided by the new ELENA decelerator and to move toward forming a horizontal beam to directly investigate the influence of gravity on the H̅ atoms, thereby probing the Weak Equivalence Principle for antimatter.

Positron-Positronium Converters in Reflection and Transmission Geometry for Gravitational Experiments with Antihydrogen using Moiré Deflectometry
/ Ferguson, R C (Trento U. ; INFN, Trento) ; Alfaro Campos, S (Siegen U. ; Innsbruck U.) ; Auzins, M (Latvia U.) ; Berghold, M (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Bergmann, B (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Burian, P (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Brusa, R S (Trento U. ; INFN, Trento) ; Camper, A (Oslo U.) ; Caravita, R (Trento U. ; INFN, Trento) ; Castelli, F (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) et al.
In the context of the Antihydrogen Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy (AEgIS) located at CERN, positron-positronium converters with a high positron-positronium conversion efficiency have been designed in both reflection and transmission geometries. The converters utilize nanochanneled silicon target technology with positron conversion efficiencies up to around 50% and around 16%, at room temperature and in the absence of magnetic fields, for reflection and transmission respectively.

Real-time antiproton annihilation vertexing with submicrometer resolution
/ AEḡIS Collaboration
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 pass through two grids forming a moiré deflectometer before annihilating onto a position-sensitive detector, which shall determine the vertical position of the annihilation vertex relative to the grids with micrometric accuracy. [...]

TALOS (Total Automation of LabVIEW Operations for Science): A framework for autonomous control systems for complex experiments
/ Volponi, M. (CERN ; Trento U. ; INFN, Trento) ; Zielinski, J. (Warsaw U. of Tech.) ; Rauschendorfer, T. (CERN ; Leipzig U.) ; Huck, S. (CERN ; Hamburg U.) ; Caravita, R.

Modern physics experiments are frequently very complex, relying on multiple simultaneous events to happen in order to obtain the desired result. The experiment control system plays a central role in orchestrating the measurement setup: However, its development is often treated as secondary with respect to the hardware, its importance becoming evident only during the operational phase.

CIRCUS: an autonomous control system for antimatter, atomic and quantum physics experiments
/ AEgIS Collaboration
A powerful and robust control system is a crucial, often neglected, pillar of any modern, complex physics experiment that requires the management of a multitude of different devices and their precise time synchronisation. The AEgIS collaboration presents CIRCUS, a novel, autonomous control system optimised for time-critical experiments such as those at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator and, more broadly, in atomic and quantum physics research.
