Confinement of antiprotons in the electrostatic space charge of positrons in a model of the ALPHA antihydrogen trap (open access)

Confinement of antiprotons in the electrostatic space charge of positrons in a model of the ALPHA antihydrogen trap

This article details the equilibrium of a positron plasma in a model of the ALPHA apparatus that is computed using a finite-difference method. The positron plasma in the model extends to axial magnetic mirrors in absence of an octupole field. Formation of a three-dimensional electrostatic potential well is found to occur self-consistently. Well depths under various conditions are evaluated. Also, the equilibrium with an antiproton plasma confined in the potential well is computed.
