ASACUSA collaboration plans to perform high precision microwave spectroscopy of ground-
state hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen atom in-flight. We have developed an apparatus
(“cusp trap”) which consists of a superconducting anti-Helmholtz coil and multiple ring
electrodes. For the preparation of slow antiprotons and positrons, Penning-Malmberg type
traps were utilized. The spectrometer line was positioned downstream of the cusp trap. At …
