Antihydrogen atoms are a unique type of antimatter that can be used to probe small violations of fundamental laws of physics. The authors present experimental results obtained with the AEgIS project at CERN for the production of antihydrogen atoms (Hbar) via charge exchange with laser excited positronium that allow for precise timing of Hbar production.
