Plasma and trap-based techniques for science with positrons
JR Danielson, DHE Dubin, RG Greaves… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
In recent years, there has been a wealth of new science involving low-energy antimatter (ie,
positrons and antiprotons) at energies ranging from 10 2 to less than 10-3 eV. Much of this …

Evaporative cooling of antiprotons to cryogenic temperatures
We report the application of evaporative cooling to clouds of trapped antiprotons, resulting in
plasmas with measured temperature as low as 9 K. We have modeled the evaporation …
