   Measuring the gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter

Kivonatos ismertetés:
One and a half decades after the first production of "cold" antihydrogen, 
first precision
measurements of the properties of antihydrogen have recently begun. Together 
with the start-up
of an additional dedicated low energy antiproton decelerator (ELENA), and the 
development of a wide range of techniques that permit precise atomic measurements,
the study of antihydrogen atoms has started in earnest. This presentation will provide 
an overview of the present status and outlook for fundamental physics with anihydrogen atoms. 
A sepcial focus will be put on tests of gravity with antimatter and on the AEGIS 
experiment, which in a final step aims to measure the free fall of a pulsed beam of 
antihyrogen atoms over their parabolic trajectory, as well as on the technological 
developments from a variety of fields on which it relies.
