Antihydrogen from merged plasmas — cold enough to trap?
The merging of antiprotons with a positron plasma is the predominant and highest efficient method for cold antihydrogen formation used to date. We present experimental evidence that this method has se...

Heating Rates and Enhanced Equilibration Rates with Strongly Correlated Ions in a Penning-Malmberg Trap
We laser-cooled up to 106 9Be+ ions to ~1 mK in a Penning-Malmberg trap and measured the ion temperature as a function of time after turning off the cooling laser. We observed a rapid heating of the i...

Simplescaling laws strongly suggest that for antihydrogen relevant parameters, quadrupolemagnetic fields will transport particles into, or near to, thetrap walls. Consequently quadrupoles are a poor choice for antihydrogentrapping. Higher order multipoles lead to much less transport. ©2006American Institute of Physics
