Penning trap 2026-10-18
A Penning trap uses a static electric quadrupole field for axial confinement and a static axial magnetic field for transverse confinement. The Lorentz force bends a moving electric charge's trajectory without doing work. An RF probe may interrogate a trapped particle, but an RF confining voltage is unnecessary in this ideal model. This makes the Penning trap useful for relating cyclotron frequencies and spin precession to a common magnetic field.
