Experimental evidence of antiproton reflection by a solid surface (2008)
Bianconi, A., Corradini, M., Cristiano, A., Leali, M., Rizzini, E. Lodi, Venturelli, L., ...
We report here experimental evidence of the reflection of a large fraction of a beam of low energy antiprotons by an aluminum wall. This derives from the analysis of a set of annihilations of...
Production of Slow Protonium in Vacuum (2008)
Zurlo, N., Amoretti, M., Amsler, C., Bonomi, G., Carraro, C., Cesar, C. L., ...
We describe how protonium, the quasi-stable antiproton-proton bound system, has been synthesized following the interaction of antiprotons with the molecular ion H$_2^+$ in a nested Penning trap...
Evidence For The Production Of Slow Antiprotonic Hydrogen In Vacuum (2007)
Zurlo, N., Amoretti, M., Amsler, C., Bonomi, G., Carraro, C., Cesar, C. L., ...
We present evidence showing how antiprotonic hydrogen, the quasistable antiproton-proton (pbar-p) bound system, has been synthesized following the interaction of antiprotons with the hydrogen...
Positron plasma control techniques for the production of cold antihydrogen (2007)
Funakoshi, R., Amoretti, M., Bonomi, G., Bowe, P. D., Canali, C., Carraro, C., ...
An observation of a clear dependence of antihydrogen production on positron plasma shapes is reported. For this purpose a plasma control method has been developed combining the plasma rotating-wall...
Cold-Antimatter Physics (2005)
Amoretti, ATHENA Collaboration: M., Amsler, C., Bonomi, G., Bowe, P. D., Canali, C., Carraro, C., ...
The CPT theorem and the Weak Equivalence Principle are foundational principles on which the standard description of the fundamental interactions is based. The validity of such basic principles should...
ATHENA -- First Production of Cold Antihydrogen and Beyond (2004)
Kellerbauer, ATHENA Collaboration: A., Amoretti, M., Amsler, C., Bonomi, G., Bowe, P. D., Canali, C., ...
Atomic systems of antiparticles are the laboratories of choice for tests of CPT symmetry with antimatter. The ATHENA experiment was the first to report the production of copious amounts of cold...
Production of Cold Antihydrogen with ATHENA for Fundamental Studies (2004)
Kellerbauer, A G, Kellerbauer, A G, Amoretti, M, Amsler, Claude, Bonomi, G, Bowe, P, ...
Since the beginning of operations of the CERN Antiproton Decelerator in July 2000, the successful deceleration, storage and manipulation of antiprotons has led to remarkable progress in the...

Detection of antihydrogen annihilations with a Si-micro-strip and pure CsI detector (2004)
Johnson, I, Amoretti, M, Amsler, Claude, Bazzano, G, Bonomi, G, Bouchta, A, ...
In 2002, the ATHENA collaboration reported the creation and detection of cold (~15 K) antihydrogen atoms [1]. The observation was based on the complete reconstruction of antihydrogen annihilations,...
Diffusive shock acceleration in extragalactic jets (1999)
Micono, M., Zurlo, N., Massaglia, S., Ferrari, A., Melrose, D. B.
We calculate the temporal evolution of distributions of relativistic electrons subject to synchrotron and adiabatic processes and Fermi-like acceleration in shocks. The shocks result from...
