A Preliminary Study of the Effect of the Chirped Rotating Wall on a Positron Cloud / PHILLIP JOHN

Swansea University Author: PHILLIP JOHN

DOI (Published version): 10.23889/SUthesis.63766

Abstract

The density of the positron cloud is a crucial parameter in many applications ofaccumulated positrons. Previous work has shown that adjusting the frequency ofthe rotating wall potential following positron accumulation can be used to controlthe density of positron clouds. In this work, positron cloud...
