Abstract:ATRAP's e+ cooling of p in a nested Penning trap has led to reports of cold H produced during such cooling by the ATHENA and ATRAP collaborations. ATHENA uses coincident annihilation detection and ATRAP uses field ionization followed by p storage. Advantages of the later method include the complete absence of a substantial background of false events intrinsic to the former, and the first way to measure which H states are produced. ATRAP enhances the H production rate by driving many cycles of e + cooling in th… Show more
