Abstract

The ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons)\ncollaboration at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN aims to measure the ground\nstate hyperfine structure of antihydrogen. A Rabi-like spectrometer line has\nbeen built for this purpose. A detector for counting antihydrogen is located at\nthe end of the beam line. This contribution will focus on the tracking\ndetector, whose challenging task it is to discriminate between background\nevents and antiproton annihilations originating from antihydrogen atoms which\nare produced only in small amounts.\n
