Summary

• Pure electron plasmas confined in magnetic surfaces:
  • Equilibrium is fundamentally different from previously explored configurations - involves new physics
  • Stability and transport is also different and looks promising

• Will be addressed in a modest laboratory experiment (CNT)
  • Ultrahigh vacuum table-top stellarator with simple coils
  • Currently being designed. First plasma in late 2003?

• Stellarators have certain advantages as charged particle traps which allow them to confine
  • Positron-electron plasmas
  • Partly neutralized plasmas
  • Antihydrogen plasmas
