Abstract
Atomic antihydrogen has recently been observed at Fermilab. It appears feasible to measure the principal structure, fine structure and Lamb shift of antihydrogen atoms in flight. It is possible to test the proposed techniques and measure cross sections for the relevant atomic processes at relativistic velocities by first using a proton beam. We propose to perform such a test at the FNAL Booster using 8 GeV protons, either in the old transfer line from the Booster to the Main Ring (the proposed "silicon damage" test facility) or in the permanent magnet transfer line to the Main Injector.
