Final Circular (7 October 2013) 2nd International Workshop on Antimatter and Gravity (WAG 2013) Wednesday 13 - Friday 15 November 2013 Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC) University of Bern, CH 3012 Bern, Switzerland http://www.einstein.unibe.ch/workshops/wag2013.html Final Circular (7 October 2013) The purpose of this meeting is to review the experimental and theoretical aspects of the interaction of antimatter with gravity. Tests of the weak equivalence principle with e.g. positronium, muonium and antihydrogen will be discussed. Progress reports on the experiments at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator and on the available future facilities will be presented. A session is also devoted to the relevance of antimatter with respect to dark energy and dark matter in the universe (theory and experiments).

More than just a name. Physicist. Genius. Science pop star. Philosopher and humanist. Thinker and guru. On a par with Copernicus, Galileo or Newton. And: Albert Einstein – from Ulm! The most famous scientist of our time was actually born on 14th March 1879 at Bahnhofstraße 20 in Ulm. Albert Einstein only lived in the city on the Danube for 15 months. His extended family – 18 of Einstein’s cousins lived in Ulm at one time or another – were a respected and deep-rooted part of the city’s society, however. This may explain Einstein’s enduring connection to the city of his birth, which he described as follows in a letter to the Ulmer Abend- post on 18th March 1929, shortly after his 50th birthday: “The birthplace is as much a unique part of your life as the ancestry of your biological mother. We owe part of our very being to our city of birth. So I look on Ulm with gratitude, as it combines noble artistic tradition with simple and healthy character.” 8 9 The “miracle year” 1905 – Einstein becomes the founder of the modern scientific world view Was Einstein a “physicist of the century”? There‘s no doubt of that. In his “miracle year” (annus mirabilis) of 1905 he pub- lished 4 groundbreaking works along- side his dissertation. Each of these was worthy of a Nobel Prize and turned him into a physicist of international standing: the theory of special relativity, the light quanta hypothesis (“photoelectric effect”), Thus, Albert Einstein became the found- for which he received the Nobel Prize in er of the modern scientific world view.

Swiss Capital It might just be these very places and beautiful landscapes Bern is the capital city of Switzerland. It is THE place where all the that have shaped the distinctly melodic dialect and legend- important decisions of our country are made. Furthermore Bern is a ary warmth of the Bernese. In 1983, Bern became a UNESCO center for education and invention. Even Albert Einstein lived in Bern World Heritage Site and can easily be reached by plane, rail between 1902 – 1909 and it was here that he invented his theory of or car today. The BERN Airport and direct connections to the relativity, E=mc2. high-speed trains TGV and ICE make a true hub out of the city. Thanks to its central location, Bern is ideal for outings and Savoire-Vivre trips throughout Switzerland and is commonly known as the Hurry and hectic are foreign words to the Bernese. People enjoy gateway to the Alps. life and take time for what is really important — whether it is a stroll under Bern’s shopping arcades, a refreshing swim in the Aare river We look forward to welcoming you. or a delicious meal at a local cozy restaurant. Urban Nature As an urban melting pot, the city still has a rural character and offers a lot of nature and recreational areas.
