摘要
We report on the design and characterization of an antiproton deceleration beamline, based on a pulsed drift tube, for the PUMA experiment at the Antimatter Factory at CERN. The design has been tailored to high-voltage (100 kV) and ultra-high vacuum (below 10(-10) mbar) conditions. A first operation achieved decelerating antiprotons from an initial energy of 100 keV down to (3898 +/- 3) eV, marking the initial stage in trapping antiprotons for the PUMA experiment. Employing a high-voltage ramping scheme, the pressure remains below 2x10(-10) mbar upstream of the pulsed drift tube for 75% of the cycle time. The beamline reached a transmission of (55 +/- 3)% for antiprotons decelerated to 4 keV. The beam is focused on a position sensitive detector to a spot with horizontal and vertical standard deviations of sigma(horiz) = (3.0 +/- 0.1) mm and sigma(vert) = (3.8 +/- 0.2) mm, respectively. This spot size is within the acceptance of the PUMA Penning trap.
