Confinement of electron-positron plasmas

• Conventional Penning-Malmberg traps cannot confine quasi-neutral plasmas such as electron-positron or antiproton-positron plasma

  • (Unconfined) electron beam-positron plasma interactions observed (Greaves and Surko, UCSD)
  • Double Penning trap for antihydrogen production - no antihydrogen produced yet (Gabrielse, Harvard U.)

• CNT can trivially confine such plasmas since it uses pure magnetic confinement
