Centrifugal Separation and Equilibration Dynamics in an Electron-Antiproton Plasma
Centrifugal Separation and Equilibration Dynamics in an Electron-Antiproton Plasma
Charges in cold, multiple-species, non-neutral plasmas separate radially by mass, forming centrifugally separated states. Here, we report the first detailed measurements of such states in an electron-antiproton plasma, and the first observations of the separation dynamics in any centrifugally separated system. While the observed equilibrium states are expected and in …
