8 The challenge: Dense and cold Ps in a short time Conditions to realize Ps-BEC High density Low temperature For Ps, 14 K at cm -3 Critical temperature (T C ) is very high due to Ps light mass Ps annihilation life time is only 142 ns (o-ps) Necessary techniques 1.

21 Principle of Laser Cooling Laser cooling: Cool atoms by absorptions of photons momenta E Ps Internal states 2p (t=3.2ns) 1s 5.1eV = 243nm UV Ps At resonant 243nm Laser wavelength l To let Ps absorb photon, use 1s - 2p transition Incident laser wavelength is detuned slightly longer than resonance 2017/06/09 21
22 Ps Laser Cooling Cycle E P Ps s Ps Excited P Ps s 1s 2p E P Ps s Ps de-excited P Ps s 2p 3.2 ns 1s Ps v Ps Random direction Doppler effect( v) Repeat this cycle Resonant 1. Only counter-propagating photons are absorbed by Doppler effect 2. Decelerate by photon s momentum l 3. Spontaneously de-excite in 3.2 ns with random direction photon (no effect on Ps temperature) 2017/06/09 22
23 Requirements for Cooling Laser First laser cooling of Ps (anti-matter systems) For Ps, several special features are necessary 1. Long time duration pulse Cooling of Ps takes around 300 ns (~ Ps life) Laser intensity (arb.) e + injection & Ps conversion Cool Ps while 300 ns Pulse duration Time (ns) 2017/06/09 23
24 Requirements for Cooling Laser 2. Wide linewidth Doppler effect is large due to Ps light mass, so laser linewidth must cover wide Doppler width At 300 K Resonant Cooling laser should cover this wide 80 pm linewidth Wide Also Wide 2017/06/09 24
25 Requirements for Cooling Laser 3. Fast shift of wavelength Resonant wavelength shifts as Ps atoms get cold Fast shift (40 pm in 300 ns) of pulse laser has never been achieved Resonant At 50 K Largely shift by cooling At 300 K Laser wavelength should be also shifted according to cooling 40 pm in 300 ns 2017/06/09 25
26 How special is laser? Ps cooling laser Common laser Time duration 300 ns CW or Pulse with 10ns or 100 fs Linewidth 80 pm < 2 pm or > 10 nm Wavelength shift 40 pm in 300 ns No example in my knowledge Even though laser optics are deeply developed, many features which Ps requires are special because laser cooling of Ps is a new challenge New design has been considered by combining sophisticated thestate-of-the-arts optics technologies 2017/06/09 26

29 Summary Ps-BEC is a good candidate for the first BEC with antimatter, which has a rich potentials on both fundamental and application physics A new method has been proposed using dense positrons and cooling by the thermalization process and laser cooling. Ps Thermaliztion process in cryogenic environment has been measured for the first time. The result indicates that it is efficient enough to realize BEC with laser cooling Cooling laser for Ps requires very special optics, so new system is currently under development. Prototype long pulse mode is confirmed to be possible. Developments on creating dense, focused positrons is also under study in parallel We will do Ps laser cooling firstly and then go to BEC! 2017/06/09 29
