This book is a collection of articles on Physics with Trapped Charged Particles by speakers at the Les Houches Winter School. The articles cover all types of physics with charged particles, and are aimed at introducing the basic issues at hand, as well as the latest developments in the field. It is appropriate for PhD students and early career researchers, or interested parties new to the area.
At Les Houches in January 2015, experts in the field of charged particle trapping came together for the Second Winter School on Physics with Trapped Charged Particles. This textbook collates the lectures delivered there, covering the fundamental physics of particle traps and the different types of applications of these devices.Taken as a whole, the book gives an overview of why traps for charged particles are important, how they work, their special features and limitations, and their application in areas such as precision measurements, mass spectrometry, optical clocks, plasma physics, antihydrogen creation, quantum simulation and quantum information processing. Chapters from various world e...
Non-neutral plasmas are clouds of electrons or ions or anti-matter particles contained in a vacuum by magnetic and electric fields. Experiments on these simplest of plasmas give precise tests of basic theories of equilibrium, waves, and cross-field transport. Technical applications include positron beams, mass spectroscopy, quantum computing, and beams for free-electron lasers.
This workshop was the first one in this series held since the announcement of the formation of cold anti-hydrogen by the ATHENA and ATRAP experiments. Research presented includes transport, collective modes, and the interplay between the two from both a particle and fluid perspective. This work is carried out in different geometries including cylindrical traps and toroidal systems. Research on cold anti-hydrogen is also represented, since accumulation of large numbers of antiprotons and positrons is a necessary precursor to recombination. Finally, several papers describing experiments on the physics of beams widens the scope to include beams and accelerators. The Workshop on Non-Neutral Plasma Physics brings together investigators from diverse areas whose research has the common feature of involving plasmas that have constituent particles with the same sign of charge.
The papers were peer reviewed.Quantum communications, measurement and computing embodies the fledgling science of quantum information. It applies quantum physics to tackle the challenges of next generation information processing. The conference was the seventh in the series. These proceedings describe papers presented at the meeting and represent the forefront of current research. Topics include: quantum communication, measurement, quantum computation, entanglement, quantum cryptography, sources of quantum states, time, as well as dissipation and decoherence.
The APS Topical Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas brings together researchers working in atomic physics and in plasma science, emphasizing the strong and synergistic overlap of these fields. The latest developments in atomic physics reported are recent advances in plasma science, such as in magnetic or inertial confinement fusion, Z-pinches, astrophysics, and technical plasma processing.
This is the fifth in a series of workshops focused on high-power RF sources, originally for accelerator applications, but now including other applications as well. These proceedings report on recent progress in high-power klystrons, traveling-wave tubes, other linear beam tubes, fast-wave devices, and supporting technologies.
