ALPHA Apparatus Using the ALPHA antihydrogen apparatus, we have been able to set the first “freefall” limits on the gravitational mass of antihydrogen. Using extensions of our technique, we expect to be able to determine if antimatter falls up or down. With an atom interferometer, we may be able the measure the antimatter g to %.

Antihydrogen Trap Alpha uses a minimum-B configuration to trap anti-atoms. The magnetic minimum is formed by two mirror coils and an octupole. Magnetic Field Magnitude

Effect of Gravity on the Anti-Atom Trapping Well TopBottom Potential includes effect from both the magnet system and gravity. The trap diameter is 44.55mm.

Effect of Gravity on Anti-Atoms in a Diminishing Minimum-B Potential Well Green dots---simulated annihilations

Simulations Simulations follow: Employ a 4 th order adaptive Runge-Kutta stepper. Simulations have been benchmarked against other aspects of the data. Employ an accurate model of the magnetic fields. Field model has been benchmarked with antiprotons. Typically, nearly one million trajectories are followed for a given condition.

Data Set: All 434 observed antihydrogen atoms in 2010 and 2011 that were held for longer than 400ms. All atoms were in the ground state.

Basic Dilemma: The late escaping anti-atoms are most sensitive to gravity… But there are relatively few late escaping particles, so the statistics for these anti-atoms are poor.

Much easier in a vertical trap. Laser cooling not necessary, though it helps. Slow down the magnet turnoff by a factor of ten. Turnoff the mirror coils only. A. Zhmoginov, A. Charman, J.

Let anti-atoms evaporate over a magnetic barrier. Substantial parallel cooling results. Some perpendicular cooling may also result. Radially confining octupole magnet required over the entire drift region. Fountain measurement: Do the anti-atoms annihilate on the top of the trap? Accuracies to F 10% possible. Mirror Coils H.

More accurate gravity measurements can be made with a laser atom interferometer. Initial results to 1% Eventual result to perhaps %.

Advantages of laser interferometric technique: ALPHA has demonstrated sufficient anti-atom trapping. Resonant interferometric techniques have been proven to work for gravitational measurements on single atoms. Only new technology is off-resonant technique. Disadvantages of laser interferometric technique: Requires a new apparatus % sensitivity requires extraordinary control of external magnetic field gradients. Laser has a lot of energy for a cryogenic environment.
