Spectrometry of Captured Highly Charged Ions Produced Following Antiproton Annihilations
We report the first capture and time-of-flight spectrometry of highly charged ions produced following antiproton annihilations in a Penning-Malmberg trap. At the AEgIS experiment, we employed a multi-step nested-trap technique to isolate ions from antiproton annihilations with ultra-low-density helium and argon gas. The capture and identification of highly-charged argon ions in charge-states up to $Ar^{5+}$ demonstrates a new method for in-trap synthesis. This work establishes a clear path towa…
