An Intense Pulsed Positron Source (IPPS) — •Stephan König1, Martin Singer2, Lutz Schweikhard1, and Thomas Sunn Pedersen2 — 1Institut für Physik, Universität Greifswald — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Plasma Physik
In a typical plasma the mass difference between the electrons and ions leads to instabilities and wave phenomena. It is predicted that in a positron-electron plasma due to the mass equality many of these phenomena will vanish. The APEX (A Positron Electron eXperiment) collaboration aims for the production of the first electron-positron plasma. One part of this collaboration is the Intense Pulsed Positron Source (IPPS), for the accumulation and storage of large numbers (∼1011) of positrons in multiple Penning traps. From those devices the positrons will be guided to a levitated dipole for the intended electron-positron experiments. In this contribution first measurements with only one Penning trap in a 3.1T superconducting magnet are presented. This includes basic measurements like trap alignment, control of diocotron motion and plasma compression by rotating-wall application.
