Sentences with phrase «magnetic bottle»

They have to be trapped or held inside a special magnetic bottle.»

Now Gerald Gabrielse, a physicist at Harvard University, has announced that his ATRAP team, also based at CERN, has created antihydrogen using a similar magnetic bottle.

Radiating the antihydrogen atoms with microwaves allowed the physicists to determine its light fingerprint in a rather indirect way, using specific changes in the antihydrogen that caused them to eject from the magnetic bottle to fine tune estimates on its spectral lines.

As the gas decays and gives off electrons, the detector uses a magnet to trap them in a magnetic bottle.

Antiprotons and positrons are both charged particles, so they can be slowed and trapped in a magnetic bottle.

Last month, the ATHENA team at CERN announced that it had cooled antiprotons and antielectrons in a magnetic bottle and detected gamma rays that stream from the annihilation of the antihydrogen when it collides with a chunk of matter (ScienceNOW, 18 September).

An unusual property of UCNs is that their kinetic energy is so small that they can become trapped in material and / or magnetic bottles, hence are observable for long times.

Earth's magnetic field, he explains, traps many cosmic rays and solar energetic particles in structures called «magnetic bottles.»

And energy out mostly by radiation, however, as much as 20 % of escaping energy is simply highly energized atmospheric molecules; which furthers vertical convection all the way out to the inside of Earth's magnetic bottle, and the Van Allen radiation belt.
