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

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. [...]

MCP-TimePix3 at OARPAF: a pathfinder for an imaging detector with high time resolution for astronomy
/ Cabona, L (Brera Observ.) ; Cecconi, M (Centro Galileo Galilei) ; Caravita, R (INFN, Trento) ; Ambrosino, F (Rome Observ.) ; Casale, A (Gran Sasso) ; Ricci, D (Padua Observ.) ; Glöggler, L T (CERN) ; Tosi, S (Genoa U.)
We present a project aiming at evaluating a novel hybrid imaging/timing detector concept comprising a photocathode, a chevron-stack micro-channel plate, and a TimePix3 readout ASIC for the detection of visible photons with high time resolution and good quantum efficiency and spatial resolution. Due to these attributes, this detector holds significant promise for time-domain astronomy. [...]
