Post-irradiation examination of refractory metal candidates for antiproton targets at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN)

Elvis Fornasiere

The AD-target (Antiproton Decelerator Target) is the main antiparticle production element of the CERN’s (European Organization for Nuclear Research) AD (Antiproton Decelerator) complex. Antiprotons are produced by colliding a pulsed 1.5 * 10^13 ppp (prot ...

Investigation of the fine structure of antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

At the historic Shelter Island Conference on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in 1947, Willis Lamb reported an unexpected feature in the fine structure of atomic hydrogen: a separation of the 2S(1/2) and 2P(1/2) states(1). The observation of this separ ...

Metrological Characterization of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Markers for Real-Time Field Control of the CERN ELENA Ring Dipoles

Anthony Jean Beaumont, Marco Buzio

Field markers in particle accelerators are used to provide a digital trigger when the magnetic field reaches a preset threshold. This paper describes the results of a test campaign performed on the extra low energy antiproton decelerator's main bending dip ...

Antihydrogen accumulation for fundamental symmetry tests

Shirit Cohen

Antihydrogen, a positron bound to an antiproton, is the simplest anti-atom. Its structure and properties are expected to mirror those of the hydrogen atom. Prospects for precision comparisons of the two, as tests of fundamental symmetries, are driving a vi ...

Observation of the 1S-2S transition in trapped antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

The spectrum of the hydrogen atom has played a central part in fundamental physics over the past 200 years. Historical examples of its importance include the wavelength measurements of absorption lines in the solar spectrum by Fraunhofer, the identificatio ...
