Invited Talk

The aim of the ALPHA experiment at CERN is to trap cold atomic antihydrogen, study its properties, and ultimately to perform precision comparison between the hydrogen and antihydrogen atomic spectra. Recently the collaboration has reached several important milestones. Firstly, demonstrating the ability to trap and confine neutral cold antihydrogen [1][2]; secondly, performing the first...

Invited Talk

The GRANIT facility is designed to study quantum states of Ultra Cold Neutrons (UCNs) bouncing over a mirror in the gravitational field. The UCNs are produced by a dedicated superthermal helium source installed at the ILL reactor. The source is now connected to the GRANIT spectrometer, and improvements have been implemented to make the source more reliable and extract the UCNs more...
