Primary goal of the AEḡIS experiment is to precisely measure free fall antihydrogen within Earth’s gravitational field. To this end, cold (≈50 K) will traverse a two-grid moiré deflectometer before annihilating onto position-sensitive detector, which shall determine vertical position annihilation vertex relative grids with micrometric accuracy. Here, we introduce vertexing detector based on modified mobile camera sensor and experimentally demonstrate that it can antiproton annihilations...
