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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Magnetometry with a Plasma Reservoir

E. D. Hunter, A. Christensen, J. Fajans +3

The local magnetic field in a Penning-Malmberg trap is found by measuring the temperatures that result when electron plasmas are illuminated by microwaves pulses. Multiple heating…

Electron Plasmas Cooled by Cyclotron-Cavity Resonance

A. P. Povilus, N. D. DeTal, L. T. Evans +10

We observe that high-Q electromagnetic cavity resonances increase the cyclotron cooling rate of pure electron plasmas held in a Penning-Malmberg trap when the electron cyclotron fr…
