    Antiproton Capture

    Antiproton Capture In order to give you an idea of how antihydrogen is actually made and trapped, we have made a small game that takes you through some key steps. You must succeed at each step to progress to the next. In the first part you need to capture antiprotons from the AD. The animation

    Paul Trap in Action

    Paul Trap in Action The Paul Trap is showing a basic experiment on how to trap particles. You have 4 electrodes, which have an electric field, which is alternating in frequency, that's why the Paul Trap is also called Radiofrequency (RF) -Trap. The electrodes trap the particles in three dimensions.

    Penning Trap

    Penning Trap It is a basic and unavoidable fact in the antimatter business that in order to produce antihydrogen, antiprotons and positrons must be mixed. So, ALPHA must have the ability to confine and manipulate charged plasmas with reasonable efficiency and at cryogenic temperatures to boot! It is a basic and unavoidable fact in the
