Description
Approximately one million antiprotons have been captured at a few keV in a half meter long cylindrical Penning trap from a single, fast extracted pulse of antiprotons at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. By electron cooling more than 65% were collected in a harmonic Penning trap. Here they can be confined for more than three hours. This is one of the first important steps towards the synthesis of antihydrogen at rest for tests of CPT
