Dependence of the confinement time of an electron plasma on the magnetic field in a quadrupole Penning trap

Abstract A quadrupole Penning trap is used to confine electrons in weak magnetic fields. Perturbations due to space charge and imperfections in the trap geometry, as well as collisions with the background gas molecules, lead to loss of the electrons from the trap. We present in this work the results...
