22nd SPARC Topical Workshop

The interdisciplinary research platform CIRIL at GANIL (Caen, France) provides a unique environment for cutting edge studies using a wide variety of ion beamlines. These beamlines cover a wide energy range and offer excellent stability, making it possible to run experiments with both light and heavy ions. As one of the few facilities worldwide offering simultaneous access to such a spectrum of...

The interaction of fast ions with molecules of biological interest is a topic of unceasing research interest due to its inherent application to radiation damage of biological tissue [1]. Additionally, such collision systems provide stringent tests for advanced distorted-wave collision theories [2]. Here we report measurements of electron DDCS spectra obtained at zero-degree emission angle with...

The study of cold antihydrogen for CPT symmetry tests began in 2010 with the first successful demonstration of trapping individual antihydrogen atoms [1]. In the ALPHA experiment, antihydrogen is produced via a three-body recombination process involving one antiproton and two positrons [2]. Antihydrogen is formed by combining cold plasmas of positrons and antiprotons in a specialized...
