Measurement of the Principal Quantum Number Distribution in a Beam of Antihydrogen Atoms

B. Kolbinger, C. Amsler, S. Arguedas Cuendis +35

The ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) collaboration plans to measure the ground-state hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen in a beam at the CERN An…

Upgrade of ASACUSA's Antihydrogen Detector

V. Kraxberger, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +35

The goal of the ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) CUSP experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator is to measure the ground state hyperfine splitt…

A compact low energy proton source

A. Weiser, A. Lanz, E. D. Hunter +3

A low energy proton source for non-neutral plasma experiments was developed. Electrons from a hot filament ionize H gas inside a geometrically compensated Penning trap to produ…

SDR, EVC, and SDREVC: Limitations and Extensions

E. D. Hunter, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +34

Methods for reducing the radius, temperature, and space charge of nonneutral plasma are usually reported for conditions which approximate an ideal Penning Malmberg trap. Here we sh…

Minimizing plasma temperature for antimatter mixing experiments

E. D. Hunter, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +37

The ASACUSA collaboration produces a beam of antihydrogen atoms by mixing pure positron and antiproton plasmas in a strong magnetic field with a double cusp geometry. The positrons…

Upgrade of the positron system of the ASACUSA-Cusp experiment

A. Lanz, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +35

The ASACUSA-Cusp collaboration has recently upgraded the positron system to improve the production of antihydrogen. Previously, the experiment suffered from contamination of the va…

Slow positron production and storage for the ASACUSA-Cusp experiment

D. J. Murtagh, C. Amsler, H. Breuker +35

The ASACUSA Cusp experiment requires the production of dense positron plasmas with a high repetition rate to produce a beam of antihydrogen. In this work, details of the positron p…

Injection and capture of antiprotons in a Penning-Malmberg trap using a drift tube accelerator and degrader foil

C. Amsler, H. Breuker, M. Bumbar +33

The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN provides antiproton bunches with a kinetic energy of 5.3 MeV. The Extra-Low ENergy Antiproton ring at CERN, commissioned at the AD in 2018,…

Cyclotron cooling to cryogenic temperature in a Penning-Malmberg trap with a large solid angle acceptance

C. Amsler, H. Breuker, S. Chesnevskaya +35

Magnetized nonneutral plasma composed of electrons or positrons couples to the local microwave environment via cyclotron radiation. The equilibrium plasma temperature depends on th…

Topological surface states in the Kondo insulator YbB revealed via planar tunneling spectroscopy

A. Gupta, A. Weiser, L. H. Greene +8

Planar tunneling spectroscopy of the Kondo insulator SmB suggests that an interaction between the surface Dirac fermions and the bulk spin excitons results in incompletely prot…

Measured Properties of an Antihydrogen Beam

E. D. Hunter, M. Bumbar, C. Amsler +29

We report a factor of increase in the antihydrogen beam intensity downstream of ASACUSA's Cusp trap: atoms detected per -minute run. The beam contains many Rydberg…
