Figure 1: Experimental schematic.

A schematic, cut-away diagram of the antihydrogen production and trapping region of the ALPHA apparatus, showing the relative positions of the cryogenically cooled Penning-Malmberg trap electrodes, the minimum-B trap octupole and mirror magnet coils, and the annihilation detector. The trap wall is on the inner radius of the electrodes. Not shown is the solenoid, which makes a uniform field in . The components are not drawn to scale.
