Description
The AEGIS experiment at CERN aim to measure the gravitational constant of anti-Hydrogen and in the future perform long-term anti-matter mass spectroscopy. To achieve the gravitational measurement, the AEGIS collaboration will produce a pulsed anti-Hydrogen beam for the first time and measure the deflection of the path of the antihydrogen from a straight line, after it has passed through a Moire reflectometer. A gravitational module, consisting of a silicon detector, an emulsion detector and a scintillating fibre time-of-flight detector will measure the annihilation of the anti-Hydrogen and is being developed to provide a position resolution better than 10 μm. Here we present the status of the AEGIS experiment as well as the latest results on the gravitation module, in particular new results on the silicon detector where the annihilations will take place.
