Tests of the antimatter behavior in the Earth's gravitational field in GBAR experiment

by Sławomir Wronka (NCBJ)

Europe/Warsaw
Description

The acceleration of free-falling bodies near the Earth's surface is approximately equal to 9,81 m/s2. However, one might ask if the antimatter is attracted by Earth in the same way, or is it even attracted at all! Experiment GBAR, located at CERN, will try to find the value of “anit-g”. During my speech the technical aspects and challenges of GBAR experiment will be presented.
