Positron accumulation in the GBAR experiment
/ GBAR Collaboration
We present a description of the GBAR positron (e+) trapping apparatus, which consists of a three stage Buffer Gas Trap (BGT) followed by a High Field Penning Trap (HFT), and discuss its performance. The overall goal of the GBAR experiment is to measure the acceleration of the neutral antihydrogen (H) atom in the terrestrial gravitational field by neutralising a positive antihydrogen ion (H+), which has been cooled to a low temperature, and observing the subsequent H annihilation following free fall.

Astron.) ; Chung, M (UNIST, Ulsan) ; Cladé, P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (IRFU, Saclay) ; Crépin, P -P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Crivelli, P (Zurich, ETH-CSCS/SCSC) et al.
The GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN requires efficient deceleration of 100 keV antiprotons provided by the new ELENA synchrotron ring to synthesize antihydrogen. This is accomplished using electrostatic deceleration optics and a drift tube that is designed to switch from -99 kV to ground when the antiproton bunch is inside – essentially a charged particle “elevator” – producing a 1 keV pulse. [...]

Positron production using a 9 MeV electron linac for the GBAR experiment
/ Charlton, M. (Swansea U.) ; Choi, J.J. (Seoul Natl. U., Dept. Phys. Astron.) ; Chung, M. (UNIST, Ulsan) ; Cladé, P. (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Crépin, P.P. (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Crivelli, P. (Zurich, ETH) ; Dalkarov, O. (Lebedev Inst.) ; Debu, P. (IRFU, Saclay) ; Dodd, L. (Swansea U.) et al.
For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source of slow positrons, which uses a low-energy electron linear accelerator (linac). The driver linac produces electrons of 9 MeV kinetic energy that create positrons from bremsstrahlung-induced pair production. [...]

Towards a test of the weak equivalence principle of gravity using anti-hydrogen at CERN
/ Banerjee, D (ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Biraben, F (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Charlton, M (Swansea U.) ; Cladé, P (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) ; Comini, P (CSNSM, Orsay) ; Crivelli, P (ETH, Zurich (main)) ; Dalkarov, O (Lebedev Inst.) ; Debu, P (IRFU, SPP, Saclay) ; Dodd, L (Swansea U.) ; Douillet, A (Paris, Lab. Kastler Brossel) et al.
The aim of the GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antimatter at Rest) experiment is to measure the free fall acceleration of an antihydrogen atom, in the terrestrial gravitational field at CERN and therefore test the Weak Equivalence Principle with antimatter. The aim is to measure the local gravity with a 1% uncertainty which can be reduced to few parts of 10-3..

The GBAR project (Gravitational Behaviour of Anti hydrogen at Rest) at CERN, aims to measure the free fall acceleration of ultracold neutral anti hydrogen atoms in the terrestrial gravitational field. The experiment consists preparing anti hydrogen ions (one antiproton and two positrons) and sympathetically cooling them with Be$^{+}$ ions to less than 10 μK. [...]
