Overview of recent progress from A Positron Electron eXperiment (APEX)

The creation and study of confined, long-lived, electron-positron plasma in the laboratory is the driving aim of the APEX Collaboration. Conducting experiments with this unique hybrid of matter and antimatter --- in the low-temperature, strongly magnetized regime --- will enable comparisons to fundamental plasma physics predictions for this uncommonly symmetric system. (Ideally, these could also lead to insights into the physics of the early universe and/or positrons and pair plasmas that occur in astrophysical contexts.) As part of striving towards this goal, we are employing, validating, combining, and advancing diverse state-of-the-art science and technology --- e.g., e+ beams and diagnostics, non-neutral plasmas, high-temperature superconduting (HTS) coils, and stellarator optimization, to name a few. This poster will provide a summary of recent results, as well as plans for upcoming work.
