Description

Full text: The AEGIS experiment at CERN (Antihydrogen Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) has the primary goal of a first measurement of the gravitational interaction of pure antimatter to a precision of 1 %, by applying techniques from particle and atomic physics, laser spectroscopy and interferometry to a beam of antihydrogen atoms. The recently approved experiment will be set up at the CERN antiproton decelerator and is currently in the phase of planning and development of individual experimental components. (author)
