Annihilation Detectors
Annihilation Detectors Annihilation Process When an antiproton and a proton come into contact, they will annihilate into a range of subatomic particles. The antiproton and the protons are destroyed. Above shows a typical example of the annihilation process. However, the annihilation products can include different numbers or selections of pions, some are statistically more common

Time Projection Chamber (TPC)
Time Projection Chamber (TPC) The particle tracking detector for the ALPHA-g experiment. A unique radial TPC that will be used in a measurement of the effect of gravity on antihydrogen.

Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD)
Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) The particle tracking detector that allows us to see antihydrogen annihilations inside ALPHA2.

Detectors
Detectors ALPHA has two detector systems that can reconstruct the origin point of an antiproton annihilation. The two detectors have differing technologies. The Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) is dedicated to the ALPHA 2 experiment, and the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is dedicated to the ALPHA-g experiment. Both detectors are custom made and unique to ALPHA.
