The AE¯ gIS collaboration's main goal is to measure the acceleration of antihydrogen (H¯ ) due to gravity. The experimental scheme is to form a pulsed beam whose vertical deflection is then measured by means of a moiré deflectometer [1]. Creating pulsed H¯ is crucial since it allows a velocity measurement of the antiatoms via time of flight (ToF) necessary to deduce the gravitational acceleration g¯ from the vertical deflection ?s. The aim of this article is to outline the experimental protocol leading up to pulsed antihydrogen production in the AE¯ gIS experiment.

Abstract
The AE¯ gIS collaboration's main goal is to measure the acceleration of antihydrogen (H¯ ) due to gravity. The experimental scheme is to form a pulsed beam whose vertical deflection is then measured by means of a moiré deflectometer [1]. Creating pulsed H¯ is crucial since it allows a velocity measurement of the antiatoms via time of flight (ToF) necessary to deduce the gravitational acceleration g¯ from the vertical deflection ?s. The aim of this article is to outline the experimental protocol leading up to pulsed antihydrogen production in the AE¯ gIS experiment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
