Description

We propose a three-step program to address the issue of antiproton interferometry and the Aharonov-Bohm effect with the antiproton. In the first part of the development we will make use of the (100 keV) TELMAX beam to characterize the geometrical reconstruction by pions of the antiprotons impact point. The following step will be the first direct demonstration of antiproton interferometry, realized by means of dedicated gratings and a high resolution emulsion detector. Finally, once produced the interferometric pattern, we will study the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which has never been observed for any particles other than the electron. The second and third steps will require the very low energy (250 eV) ASACUSA antiproton beam from the MUSASHI system.
