Abstract

The production of antihydrogen is examined in the light of recent experimental results on a technique for the efficient accumulation, manipulation, and storage of positrons. From these data, we argue that this high-efficiency positron trapping technique could be adapted for the production of antihydrogen and would offer significant advantages over other positron trapping techniques currently being proposed for this purpose.
