Effect of positron space charge on operation of an antihydrogen trap

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of North Texas, Denton, Texas 76203 (United States)

Description

Experimental conditions have recently been reported [G. Andresen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 023402 (2007)] that are relevant to the prospect of trapping antihydrogen atoms. An analysis of the experimental conditions indicates that positron space charge can have an important effect. The fraction of antiprotons that have an energy suitable for antihydrogen trapping can be reduced by drifts caused by the presence of positron space charge
