A determination of the backscattering probability of low-energy antiprotons
GBAR Collaboration, K. Park, E. Perez +42
It is commonly assumed that antiprotons impinging on a material surface annihilate promptly with the nuclei of the material. However, at kinetic energies of a few keV, this assumpt…
Cryogenic source of atomic tritium for neutrino-mass measurements and precision spectroscopy
Aleksei Semakin, Janne Ahokas, Tom Kiilerich +9
We propose a concept for a cryogenic source of atomic tritium at sub-Kelvin temperatures and energies suitable for magnetic trapping. The source is based on the dissociation of sol…
Record accumulation of antiprotons in a Penning-Malmberg Trap and their preparation for improved production of antihydrogen beams
B. Lee, B. Kim, P. Adrich +35
CERN's AD/ELENA ``antimatter factory'' - unique worldwide - serves several experiments, all of which use electromagnetic traps to accumulate antiprotons for fundamental science. Th…
Zero-energy resonances in ultracold hydrogen sticking to liquid helium films of finite thickness
R. Karakhanyan, A. Voronin, V. Nesvizhevsky +2
We investigated quantum states of ultracold hydrogen atoms in a combined potential comprising the H-He film interaction in the presence of a substrate and the Earth gravitational f…
Cold source of atomic hydrogen for loading large magnetic traps
A. Semakin, J. Ahokas, O. Hanski +8
We present a design and performance tests of an intense source of cold hydrogen atoms for loading large magnetic traps. Our source is based on a cryogenic dissociator of molecular…
