Simulations of plasma confinement in an antihydrogen trap
The three-dimensional particle-in-cell 3-D PIC simulation code WARP is used to study positron confinement in antihydrogen traps. The magnetic geometry is close to that of a UC Berkeley experiment conducted, with electrons, as part of the ALPHA collaboration W. Bertsche et al., AIP Conf. Proc. 796, 301 2005 . In order to trap antihydrogen atoms, multipole magnetic fields are added to a conventio...
متن کاملIn situ electromagnetic field diagnostics with an electron plasma in a Penning–Malmberg trap
We demonstrate a novel detection method for the cyclotron resonance frequency of an electron plasma in a Penning–Malmberg trap. With this technique, the electron plasma is used as an in situ diagnostic tool for the measurement of the static magnetic field and the microwave electric field in the trap. The cyclotron motion of the electron plasma is excited by microwave radiation and the temperatu...
متن کاملQuadrupole-induced resonant-particle transport in a pure electron plasma.
Small transverse magnetic quadrupole fields sharply degrade the confinement of non-neutral plasmas held in Malmberg-Penning traps. For example, a quadrupole magnetic field of only 0.02 G/cm doubles the diffusion rate in a trap with a 100 G axial magnetic field. Larger quadrupole fields noticeably change the shape of the plasma. The transport is greatest at an orbital resonance. These results ca...
متن کاملEffects of extreme magnetic quadrupole fields on penning traps and the consequences for antihydrogen trapping.
Measurements on electrons confined in a Penning trap show that extreme quadrupole fields destroy particle confinement. Much of the particle loss comes from the hitherto unrecognized ballistic transport of particles directly into the wall. The measurements scale to the parameter regime used by ATHENA and ATRAP to create antihydrogen, and suggest that quadrupoles cannot be used to trap antihydrogen.
متن کاملAntimatter plasmas in a multipole trap for antihydrogen.
We have demonstrated storage of plasmas of the charged constituents of the antihydrogen atom, antiprotons and positrons, in a Penning trap surrounded by a minimum-B magnetic trap designed for holding neutral antiatoms. The neutral trap comprises a superconducting octupole and two superconducting, solenoidal mirror coils. We have measured the storage lifetimes of antiproton and positron plasmas ...
