Protocol for pulsed antihydrogen production in the AE(g)over-barIS apparatus

The AE (g) over bar IS collaboration's main goal is to measure the acceleration of antihydrogen ((H) over bar) due to gravity. The experimental scheme is to form a pulsed beam whose vertical deflection is then measured by means of a moire deflectometer [1]. Creating pulsed H is crucial since it allows a velocity measurement of the antiatoms via time of flight (ToF) necessary to deduce the gravitational acceleration (g) over bar from the vertical deflection Delta s. The aim of this article is to outline the experimental protocol leading up to pulsed antihydrogen production in the AE (g) over bar IS experiment.
