Trento (main)) ; Glöggler, L T (CERN) ; Wolz, T (CERN) ; Krumins, V (CERN ; Latvia U.) ; Gustafsson, F P (CERN) ; Huck, S (CERN ; Hamburg U.) ; Volponi, M (CERN ; Trento U. ; INFN, Trento ; U. Trento (main)) et al.
We report on a Q-switched alexandrite based ∼100ns long pulse duration ultra-violet laser system. The central wavelength of the fundamental pulse is set by a Volume Bragg Grating in reflection and can be tuned between 728nm and 742nm. [...]

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. [...]

Pulsed Production of Antihydrogen in AEgIS
/ AEgIS Collaboration
Cold antihydrogen atoms are a powerful tool to probe the validity of fundamental physics laws, and it's clear that colder atoms, generally speaking, allow an increased level of precision.
After the first production of cold antihydrogen ($\bar{H}$) in 2002, experimental efforts have progressed continuously (trapping, beam formation, spectroscopy), with competitive results already achieved by adapting to cold antiatoms techniques previously well developed for ordinary atoms. Unfortunately, the number of $\bar{H}$ atoms that can be produced in dedicated experiments is many orders of magnitude smaller than available hydrogen atoms, which are at hand in large amount, so the development of novel techniques that allow the production of $\bar{H}$ with well defined conditions (and possibly control its formation time and energy levels) is essential to improve the sensitivity of the methods applied by the different experiments.
We present here the first experimental results concerning the production of $\bar{H}$ in a pulsed mode where the time when 90\% of
the atoms are produced is known with an uncertainty of around 250~ns. [...]

The AEgIS experiment located at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN aims to measure the gravitational fall of a cold antihydrogen pulsed beam. The precise observation of the antiatoms in the Earth gravitational field requires a controlled production and manipulation of antihydrogen. [...]

High-resolution MCP-TimePix3 imaging/timing detector for antimatter physics
/ Glöggler, L (CERN ; Berlin, Tech. U.) ; Caravita, R (INFN, Trento) ; Auzins, M (Latvia U.) ; Bergmann, B (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Brusa, R S (INFN, Trento ; Trento U.) ; Burian, P (Prague, Tech. U.) ; Camper, A (Oslo U.) ; Castelli, F (Milan U.) ; Cheinet, P (LAC, Orsay) ; Ciuryło, R (Torun, Copernicus Astron. Ctr.) et al.
We present a hybrid imaging/timing detector for force sensitive inertial measurements designed for measurements on positronium, the metastable bound state of an electron and a positron, but also suitable for applications involving other low intensity, low energy beams of neutral (antimatter)-atoms, such as antihydrogen. The performance of the prototype detector was evaluated with a tunable low energy positron beam, resulting in a spatial resolution of 12 mm, a detection efficiency of up to 40% and a time-resolution in the order of tens of ns..

Method for measuring positron number in high intensity nanosecond positron bunches based on Poisson statistic

A novel method for the measurement of the number of positrons contained in intense positron bunches is presented. The technique is based on the Poisson distribution of the number of gamma rays emitted by many simultaneous positron–electron annihilations in a small solid angle. [...]
