Description
The world’s only source of low-energy antiprotons is currently the AD/ELENA facility located at CERN. Precision measurements on single antiprotons have been conducted at this facility and provide stringent tests of fundamental interactions and their symmetries. However, magnetic field fluctuations from the facility operation limit the precision of upcoming measurements. To overcome this limitation, we have designed the transportable antiproton trap system BASE-STEP to relocate antiprotons to laboratories with a calm magnetic environment. We present the technical design, characterization measurements of the transportable superconducting magnet, and the current status of the transportable antiproton trap BASE-STEP.
