Sympathetic cooling (pbar)
Sympathetic cooling (pbar) The positron – the other component of the antihydrogen atom – also needs to be cooled as much as possible before being used for antihydrogen formation, as we have observed that the temperature of the positrons strongly influences the temperature of the antihydrogen we produce, which directly influences how much antihydrogen we

Sympathetic cooling (e-)
Sympathetic cooling (e-) After catching antiprotons from the Antiproton Decelerator, they are still too energetic and hot (around 30 million Kelvin) to be used for antihydrogen formation, as we want the antihydrogen we produce to be as cold as possible so it is easier to trap. In order to cool them, they are mixed with
