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…
