Ion extraction and focusing using the High Performance Antiproton Trap. (South Carolina Junior Academy Of Sciences Abstracts).Using a High Performance Antiproton an·ti·pro·tonn. The antiparticle of the proton. antiproton The antiparticle that corresponds to the proton. Noun 1. Trap and adjusting the voltages on a series of five Einzel lenses, a beam of ions was focused onto a Micro-Channel Plate to maximize the number of captured particles as a method of spacecraft propulsion. Further focusing occurred with the addition of a solenoid solenoid (sō`lənoid'), device made of a long wire that has been wound many times into a tightly packed coil; it has the shape of a long cylinder. . Test results included a density profile and radio frequency data, in addition to the recorded focusing advancements. The focusing achieved during this research has proved beneficiary to NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. and has been a large step forward in Antimatter antimatter: see antiparticle. antimatter Substance composed of elementary particles having the mass and electric charge of ordinary matter (such as electrons and protons) but for which the charge and related magnetic properties are opposite in sign.
