The Production and Study of Antiprotons and Cold Antihydrogen
Abstract
The practical goal is developing the unusual techniques required to produce and store atoms made entirely of antimatter, given that the slightest encounter with ordinary matter turns all their mass into energy as they annihilate. One immediate goal is greatly increasing the number of trapped antihydrogen atoms in their ground state. Another goal is demonstrating the first laser cooling of trapped antihydrogen.
