Adiabatic cooling of antiprotons.
Adiabatic cooling is shown to be a simple and effective method to cool many charged particles in a trap to very low temperatures. Up to 3×10(6) p are cooled to 3.5 K-10(3) times more cold p and a 3 times lower p temperature than previously reported. A second cooling method cools p plasmas via the synchrotron radiation of embedded e(-) (with many fewer e(-) than p in preparation for adiabatic co...
متن کاملEvaporative cooling of antiprotons to cryogenic temperatures.
We report the application of evaporative cooling to clouds of trapped antiprotons, resulting in plasmas with measured temperature as low as 9 K. We have modeled the evaporation process for charged particles using appropriate rate equations. Good agreement between experiment and theory is observed, permitting prediction of cooling efficiency in future experiments. The technique opens up new poss...
متن کاملStochastic cooling and the accumulation of antiprotons.
1. A general outline of the pfi project The large project mentioned in the motivation of this year’s Nobel award in physics includes in addition to the experiments proper described by C. Rubbia, the complex machinery for colliding high-energy protons and antiprotons (Fig. 1). Protons are accelerated to 26 GeV/c in the PS machine and are used to produce p’s in a copper target. An accumulator rin...
متن کاملSpin gradient demagnetization cooling of ultracold atoms.
We demonstrate a new cooling method in which a time-varying magnetic field gradient is applied to an ultracold spin mixture. This enables preparation of isolated spin distributions at positive and negative effective spin temperatures of ±50 pK. The spin system can also be used to cool other degrees of freedom, and we have used this coupling to cool an apparently equilibrated Mott insulator of...
متن کاملK-shell ionization by antiprotons.
We present calculations for the impact-parameter dependence of K-shell ionization rates in p-Cu and in p-Ag collisions at various projectile energies. We show that the effect of the attractive Coulomb potential on the Rutherford trajectory and the antibinding effect caused by the negative charge of the antiproton result in a considerable increase of the ionization probability. Total ionization ...
