Production of negatively charged atomic ions inside a linear Paul trap for the formation of antiprotonic atoms
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: An effective, long-lasting, low-energy source of negatively charged ions was designed, constructed, and tested. The source uses electron dissociative attachment in electron-molecule collisions to form a set of anions inside a linear Paul trap. Iodine I 2 molecules were used to obtain pure sets of I − anions. The system was tested, providing about 1 0 5 ions produced in less than a minute, which can be stored in the trap and used in further experiments.
