Abstract

The cyclotron trap is a device to increase the stop density of negatively charged particles. Its working principle is to wind up the range of a stopping particle in a weak focusing magnetic field. Its main application in the past was the spectroscopy of exotic atoms. A modern application is the production of low energy muon or antiproton beams.
