International audience; The AEḡIS collaboration’s main goal is to measure the acceleration of antihydrogen it ($\textit{H}$) due to gravity. The experimental scheme is to form a pulsed beam whose vertical deflection is then measured by means of a moiré deflectometer [1]. Creating pulsed $\textit{H}$is crucial since it allows a velocity measurement of the antiatoms via time of flight ($\mathrm{ToF}$) necessary to deduce the gravitational acceleration ḡ from the vertical deflection $\Delta\mathit{s}$. The aim of this article is to outline the experimental protocol leading up to pulsed antihydrogen production in the AEḡIS experiment.
