Abstract
The coefficient a0 has been derived from a measurement of the integral spectrum of recoil protons stored in a quasi-Penning trap with inhomogeneous magnetic field and adiabatic focusing onto an electro-static mirror of potential variable in 10 V steps between 0 V and 850 V. Correction for incomplete transfer of energy from transverse to longitudinal degrees of freedom, and the violation of the adiabatic conditions on reflection at the mirror, is carried out by alternately measuring the spectrum at trapping times of 1 ms and 2 ms. The results a0 = −0.1054 ± 0.0055 and |λ | = 1.271 ± 0.018 are comparable in precision with existing measurements of a0.
