论文摘要
宙斯盾合作在直接测量中性反物质原子的重力自由落体方面的进展。该实验最近开发了第一个脉冲的冷抗氧源,并在其第二阶段进入,旨在首次概念验证引力测量。部署了几项重大升级,包括升级的抗氢生产方案和完全重新设计的抗蛋白陷阱。宙斯盾在2021年底重新开始了对新的CERN Elena减速器的操作,捕获了其第一个抗植物,并调试了其新的抗原能量降解系统以及硬件/软件控制系统。
The progresses of the AEgIS collaboration on its way towards directly measuring the gravitational free-fall of neutral antimatter atoms are reviewed. The experiment recently developed the first pulsed cold antihydrogen source and entered in its second phase, aiming at the first proof-of-concept gravitational measurement. Several major upgrades were deployed, including an upgraded antihydrogen production scheme and a fully-redesigned antiproton trap. AEgIS re-started its operation on the new CERN ELENA decelerator in late 2021, capturing its first antiprotons and commissioning its new antiproton energy degrading system and hardware/software control systems.
