/ 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.

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. [...]

Development of a Position-Sensitive Detector for Positronium Inertial Sensing Measurements

In the last twenty years, both free fall and interferometry/deflectometry experiments have been proposed for the measurement of the gravitational acceleration on positronium, which is a purely leptonic matter-antimatter atom formed by an electron and its antiparticle (positron). Among the several challenges posed by these experiments is the development of position-sensitive detectors to measure the deflection of positronium in the Earth's gravitational field. [...]

Search for polarized antiproton production

The production of antiprotons is studied in view of possible polarization effects as basis for a polarized antiproton beam. If antiprotons are produced with some polarization, a quite simple procedure for the generation of a polarized antiproton beam could be worked out. [...]

Drift chamber calibration and particle identification in the P-349 experiment

The goal of the P-349 experiment is to test whether 3.5 GeV/c antiprotons produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions are polarized in view of the preparation of a polarized antiproton beam. In this article, we present the details of the ongoing analysis focused on the drift chambers calibration and particle identification with DIRC..
