  1. Simultaneous Ion-Neutral Trapping and Applications Alex Povilus Jae Choi Eberhard Hansis Georg Raithel REU-2004 – 7/28/2004

  2. Motivation -Three-body recombination studies -High angular momentum states likely -Reevaluate traditional Penning trap dynamics (symmetry) -Eye towards Anti-Hydrogen Production "For me, the most attractive way ... would be to capture the antihydrogen in a neutral particle trap ... The objective would be to then study the properties of a small number of [antihydrogen] atoms confined in the neutral trap for a long time." -Gerald Gabrielse, 1986 Erice Lecture (shortly after first trapping of antiprotons)

  3. Incompatible Trapping Techniques? Ion Trapping (Penning) -Homogeneous B Field -Electrostatic Potential Well Neutral Trapping (Ioffe) -Magnetic Field Minimum (H=μ·B and adiabatic approx.) Requirements of Techniques

  4. Internal Electrodes Apparatus Superconducting Atom Trap (2.9 Tesla) Cryo-chamber at 4K Optical Trapping Techniques

  5. Electron Motion/ Simulations Sample electron oscillations expected in the system without and with quadrupole magnetic field perturbations.

  6. Experimental Results Ion-Neutral Trapping Observed ( ≈ 50 sec) at Low Density (105 e-/cm3) Temperature of Sample Measurement: ~4K

  7. Applications of Technique Three Body Recombination: High Angular Momentum State Generation:
