ATRAP observations of cold antihydrogen

by Gerald GABRIELSE (Harvard University)

Tuesday 11 Mar 2003, 16:30 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

ATRAP's demonstrations of positron cooling of antiprotons in a nested Penning trap have led to reports of cold antihydrogen production using this device and technique by both ATHENA and ATRAP. The device, technique and the methods used to identify cold antihydrogen will be discussed, as will the future aspirations to precisely compare cold antihydrogen and hydrogen.
