Comparison of Planar and 3D Silicon Pixel Sensors Used for Detection of Low Energy Antiprotons
Original language description
The principal aim of the AE<(g) overbar>IS experiment at CERN is to measure the acceleration of antihydrogen due to Earth's gravitational field. This would be a test of the Weak Equivalence Principle, which states that all bodies fall with the same acceleration independently of their mass and composition. The effect of Earth's gravitational field on antimatter will be determined by measuring the deflection of the path of the antihydrogen from a straight line. The position of the antihydrogen will be found by detecting its annihilation on the surface of a silicon detector. The gravitational measurement in AE<(g) overbar>IS will be performed with a gravity module, which includes the silicon detector, an emulsion detector and a scintillating fibre time-of-flight detector. As the experiment attempts to determine the gravitational acceleration with a precision of 1%, a position resolution better than 10 mu m is required. Here we present the results of a study of antiproton annihilations in
