Detection of low energy antiproton annihilations in a segmented silicon detector
Original language description
The goal of the AEgIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN, is to measure directly the Earth's gravitational acceleration on antimatter by measuring the free fall of a pulsed, cold antihydrogen beam. The final position of the falling antihydrogen will be detected by a position sensitive detector. This detector will consist of an active silicon part, where the annihilations take place, followed by an emulsion part. Together, they allow to achieve 1% precision on the measurement of (g) over bar with about 600 reconstructed and time tagged annihilations. We present here the prospects for the development of the AEgIS silicon position sentive detector and the results from the first beam tests on a monolithic silicon pixel sensor, along witha comparison to Monte Carlo simulations.
