Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We present a hybrid imaging/timing detector for force sensitive inertial measurements designed for measurements on positronium, the metastable bound state of an electron and a positron, but also suitable for applications involving other low intensity, low energy beams of neutral (antimatter)-atoms, such as antihydrogen. The performance of the prototype detector was evaluated with a tunable low energy positron beam, resulting in a spatial resolution of <jats:inline-formula> <jats:tex-math><?CDATA ${\approx}$?></jats:tex-math> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>≈</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="mstac8221ieqn1.gif" xlink:type="simple" /> </jats:inline-formula>12 mm, a detection efficiency of up to 40% and a time-resolution in the order of tens of ns.</jats:p>
