The GBAR experiment: Gravitational behaviour of antihydrogen at rest
2012Citations per year
Abstract: (IOP)
The recently recommended experiment GBAR is foreseen to run at CERN at the AD/ELENA antiproton source. It aims at performing the first measurement of the Earth's gravitational acceleration on antimatter by observing the free-fall of antihydrogen atoms. This requires creating anti-atoms at an unprecedented low energy. The different steps of the experiment and their present status are reviewed.- gravitation: acceleration
- energy: low
