A novel property of anti-Helmholz coils for in-coil syntheses of antihydrogen atoms: formation of a focused spin-polarized beam

We demonstrate here that cold antihydrogen beams formed and extracted from a cusp magnet (anti-Helmholtz coils) are well focused and spin-polarized. A new discovery was the fact that the antihydrogen beam follows the well-known lens formula of optical lenses with its focal length properly scaled wit...
