Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 203401 (2008) [5 pages]Compression of Antiproton Clouds for Antihydrogen TrappingReceived 22 September 2007; published 19 May 2008 Control of the radial profile of trapped antiproton clouds is critical to trapping antihydrogen. We report the first detailed measurements of the radial manipulation of antiproton clouds, including areal density compressions by factors as large as ten, by manipulating spatially overlapped electron plasmas. We show detailed measurements of the near-axis antiproton radial profile and its relation to that of the electron plasma. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
