Abstract

Recent research is described that exploits nonneutral plasma techniques to develop new tools to accumulate, manipulate and store antimatter and to make cold, bright antiparticle beams. Progress is described in three areas: radial compression of single‐component plasmas using rotating electric fields in a novel, strong‐drive regime; experiments and complementary theoretical modeling of the extraction of antiparticle beams with small transverse spatial extent from single‐component plasmas; and work to develop a multicell trap to increase, by orders of magnitude, the capacity for antiparticle storage. Potential applications of these tools and challenges for future research are discussed.
