Radial Time Projection Chamber (rTPC)


Date: 02-08-2018

Anti-hydrogen annihilation detector for the gravity measurement of the anti-hydrogen.

The radial Time projection chamber will measure the position of anti-hydrogen annihilations by detecting the trajectories of particles produced in the annihilation reactions. This will be used to study the gravitational force on antimatter in the Alpha-g experiment.
