/Asacusa AD-3
We report a factor of 100 increase in the antihydrogen beam intensity downstream of ASACUSA’s Cusp trap: 320 atoms detected per 15-minute run. The beam contains many Rydberg atoms, which we selectively ionize to determine their velocity and binding energy. [...]

/GBAR Collaboration
A microwave (MW) spectroscopy experiment has been proposed to directly measure the resonant frequency of $2S_{1/2}-2P_{1/2}$ Lamb shift transition in antihydrogen ($\mathrm{\bar{H}}$) atoms. The spectroscopy opens up the possibility of deriving the charge radius of antiproton ($\mathrm{\bar{p}}$) using a beam of $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ atoms with a kinetic energy of a few keV travelling under a magnetic field-free environment.The requisite spectroscopy apparatuses have been developed and installed in the $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ beam line at the GBAR experiment, where the production of $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ beam at 6.1 keV was demonstrated through a charge exchange reaction of a $\mathrm{\bar{p}}$ beam passing through a positronium (Ps) cloud.The spectroscopy setup is composed of a MW spectrometer and a Lyman-$\alpha$ photon detector.The MW spectrometer consists of two consecutive MW apparatuses which have a relatively large borehole of 30 mm diameter, and each MW apparatus comprises a pair of parallel plate electrodes as its inner conductor and a rectangular box as its outer conductor.Downstream to the MW spectrometer, the Lyman-$\alpha$ detector has been installed to count the $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ atoms remaining in the $2S$ state after interacting with the MW E-field.Towards the $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ Lamb shift spectroscopy, we present here a characterization of the MW spectrometer, an evaluation of the detection efficiency of the Lyman-$\alpha$ detector, and a precision expected in the first line shape measurement of the $\mathrm{\bar{H}}$ Lamb shift..

Detecting charged pions emitted from antiproton annihilation on nuclei is a well-established technique utilized to determine annihilation vertex positions, crucial for several experiments in the antimatter field. For the past decade, a detector composed of plastic scintillating bars has been integral to the ASACUSA experiment, employed in both antihydrogen formation experiments and annihilation cross-section measurements.

/Asacusa AD-3
The mechanism of antiproton-nucleus annihilation at rest is not fully understood, despite substantial previous experimental and theoretical work. In this study we used slow extracted, sub-keV antiprotons from the ASACUSA apparatus at CERN to measure the charged particle multiplicities and their energy deposits from antiproton annihilations at rest on three different nuclei: carbon, molybdenum and gold.
