What it covers
How positrons from a linear-accelerator source are accumulated into a usable pulse for GBAR, rather than used one shot at a time.
Methods and setup
A linac-based slow-positron source feeds a trap or accumulation stage. The paper reports the accumulation scheme in Acta Physica Polonica A alongside the other GBAR positron instrumentation.
Why it matters
Antihydrogen formation needs a large positron number in a short time. Accumulation is the buffer between a pulsed linac and the reaction.
