Enhancing trappable antiproton populations through deceleration and frictional cooling

Journal Article Zolotorev, M. ; Sessler, A. ; Penn, G. ; ... - Physical Review Special Topics. Accelerators and Beams

CERN currently delivers antiprotons for trapping experiments with the Antiproton Decelerator (AD), which slows the antiprotons down to about 5 MeV.This energy is currently too high for direct trapping, and thick foils are used to slow down the beam to energies which can be trapped.To allow further deceleration tomore »« less

Evaporative cooling of antiprotons for the production of trappable antihydrogen

Journal Article Silveira, D. M. ; Cesar, C. L. ; Andresen, G. B. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We describe the implementation of evaporative cooling of charged particles in the ALPHA apparatus. Forced evaporation has been applied to cold samples of antiprotons held in Malmberg-Penning traps. Temperatures on the order of 10 K were obtained, while retaining a significant fraction of the initial number of particles. We have developed a model for the evaporation process based on simple rate equations and applied it succesfully to the experimental data. We have also observed radial re-distribution of the clouds following evaporation, explained by simple conservation laws. We discuss the relevance of this technique for the recent demonstration of magnetic trappingmore » of antihydrogen.« less

Deceleration of Antiprotons in Support of Antiproton Storage/Utilization Research

Journal Article Howe, Steven D ; Jackson, Gerald P ; Pearson, J Boise ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Antimatter has the highest energy density known to mankind. Many concepts have been studied that use antimatter for propulsion. All of these concepts require the development of high density storage. H-bar Technologies, under contract with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, has undertaken the first step toward development of high density storage. Demonstration of the ability to store antiprotons in a Penning Trap provides the technology to pursue research in alternative storage methods that may lead to eventually to high density concepts. H-bar Technologies has undertaken research activity on the detailed design and operations required to decelerate and redirect themore »« less

Report on Operation of Antiproton Decelerator

Journal Article Belochitskii, Pavel - AIP Conference Proceedings

The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN operates for physics since 1999. The 3.5 GeV/c antiprotons produced in the target by a 26 GeV/c proton beam coming from CERN PS. Since the experiments need a low energy antiprotons, beam is decelerated in the AD down to an extraction momentum of 100 MeV/c. Due to significant emittance blow up during deceleration, as well as tight requirements from experiments on extracted beam sizes, efficient compression of beam phase space is indispensable. Two cooling systems, stochastic and electron are used in AD. The progress in machine performance is reviewed, along with plans for themore »« less

The CERN Antiproton Decelerator AD: Performance, Developments and Future Possibilities

Journal Article Eriksson, Tommy - AIP Conference Proceedings

During the first 5 years of running for physics, the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has delivered antiprotons at 100 MeV/c to the ATRAP, ATHENA and ASACUSA collaborations and at 300 MeV/c to the ACE experiment. A rundown of the improvements in cycle duration, beam intensity and density over this period will be given. Limiting factors for improved performance will be discussed as well as planned and possible future improvements. Details and layout of a proposed new ring for further deceleration, ELENA, with the purpose of increasing beam density and trapping efficiency at the experiments are presented.
