Mm. Schauer et al., ELECTRON PENNING TRAP FOR THE GENERATION OF HIGH-DENSITY NONNEUTRAL PLASMAS, Review of scientific instruments, 68(9), 1997, pp. 3340-3345
We describe an experiment to produce high density pure electron plasma
s in a cryogenic Penning trap. The apparatus and its operation are des
cribed in detail. A brief summary of data acquired to date and its int
erpretation are given. Possible uses and future work are mentioned. (C
