  1. ”AEGIS physics possibilities” Outline: - The Aegis experiment / ”Norwegian history” - Atomic & optical physics group & Rydberg atoms & processes - Possibilities.... Jan Petter Hansen, Town Meeting, Bergen 13.04.2009

  2. AEGIS: Anti matter Experiment for Gravity, Interferemotry and Spectroscopy http://aegis.web.cern.ch/aegis/ The primary scientific goal of AEGIS is the direct measurement of the Earth’s local gravitational acceleration g on anti-hydrogen.

  3. ”The proposal is very original and could potentially revolutionise physics.” Overall mark: 6 Result: Reject.

  4. NFR FRINAT GRANT – 2010-2013 (~7Mkr) Experiment: Rydberg wavepackets, Coherent control, Molecular Rydberg transients & Rydberg movies Theory: Rydberg wavepacket simulations, Quantum control and Rydberg Antimatter dynamics

  5. Atomic and optical physics @ UiB: Øyvind Frette, Assoc. Professor Jan Petter Hansen, Professor Ladislav Kocbach, Professor Jakob J. Stamnes, Professor Morten Førre Forsker Børge Hamre Engineer 6 Dr. gradsstudenter 7 Mastergradsstudenter

  6. Outdoor UV lab(s)...

  7. Inhouse Femtosecond laserlab

  8. Inhouse Femtosecond laserlab

  9. (Rydberg) atoms, molecules and quantum dots in time dependent fields Example: The dipole approximation breakes down for intense fields Example: Two paths coherent optical control in quantum dots.

  10. Rydberg atoms: • Controllable and perfect transitions from state to state Can Rydberg antiatoms be controlled to the same level?

  11. Possibilities: • The AEGIS experiment will very likely lead to exciting atomic physics studies • quantum control of anti matter in time dependent EM fields • decoherence of mesoscopic (anti-) systems • Cold antimatter / Atimatter condensates • Opens for collaboration between fields (atomic, quantum optics, particle physics communities) and between small scale and large scale science. • Support for experimental activity is necessary!
