Design and operation of APEX-LD: a compact levitated dipole for the confinement of electron-positron pair plasmas

A. Card, M. R. Stoneking, A. Deller +1

The objective of the APEX (A Positron-Electron eXperiment) project is to magnetically confine and study electron--positron pair plasmas. For this purpose, a levitated dipole trap (…
