Sympathetic cooling of protons and antiprotons with a common endcap Penning trap

M. Bohman, A. Mooser, G. Schneider +12 more

We present an experiment to sympathetically cool single protons and antiprotons in a Penning trap by resonantly coupling the particles to laser cooled beryllium ions using a common endcap technique. Our analysis shows that preparation of (anti)protons at mK temperatures on timescales of tens of seconds is feasible. Successful implementation of the technique will have immediate and significant impact on high-precision comparisons of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons. This in turn will provide stringent tests of the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model.

Cold trapped positrons and progress to cold antihydrogen

J. Estrada

A new physical mechanism for positron accumulation is explained and demonstrated. Strongly magnetized Rydberg positronium is formed and then ionized, allowing us to trap equal numbers of either positrons or electrons over a wide range of conditions. Antiprotons are trapped, cooled, and stacked from the new Antiproton Decelerator facility for the first time. Combining positrons and antiprotons, we have demonstrated the first positron cooling of antiprotons. The cooling takes place in a 4.2 K, nested Penning trap where conditions are ideal for the eventual goal of the formation of antihydrogen.
