Several postings ago, I referred to an article in a recent issue of Scientific American that might be of interest. The complete citation is: Gerald Gabrielse, ``Extremely Cold Antriprotons,'' Scientific American, vol. 267, no. 6, pp. 78-80, 85-89, Dec. 1992. `Cooling and trapping of these particles at energies one ten-billionth of what was feasible six years ago should make possible production of the first antimatter atoms.' Granted, the article doesn't deal with mass production of antimatter but it *is* both recent and topical. An ion trap of the type described in the article may be suitable for "bulk storage and transport" of anti protons in the future... Certainly it would be more convenient than a storage ring :) -- Dave Michelson davem@ee.ubc.ca
