Outlook
1) Consideration with OUR Rybderg atoms n=20-40, k,m=-40-401) Energy level in F and B2) Lifetime in F and B
2) Decelerator or Transport ?1) Force acting on Rydberg, scalling laws, lifetime2) Example with time independent electric field F3) Example with time dependent electric field
• Toward a single well define level ?• Easy to transport • Easy to trap and to accumulate
1) Trapping Rybderg or Hbar (1s)1) What are the possible traps ?

Lifetime of Rydberg atoms
PHYSICAL REVIEW A 72, 033405 2005
Typical value 0.1 ns * n^3 m^2|k|<n and n>l>|m|
• 10-1000µs for m=1-n
• F=0, B=0 n l m good numbers
• F≠0, B=0 n k m good
• F≠0, B ≠ 0 but // m good ~n
• F≠0, B ≠ 0 not // ~n• Small lifetime 20 µs

Rydberg Transport2 possible schemes
•Create Rydberg with velocity -> Deceleration•Difficult to produce cold pbar at 1000m/s•Rydberg and then Hbar (1s or 2s) directly in flight -> Gravity
•Create Rydberg at rest -> Transport (acceleration+deceleration)•Much simpler ? to have low temperature for pbar•Simpler design ? due to “symmetry” between acceleration and deceleration (Same final energy that at the beginning)
2 main problems ?Hbar (nl) not trapped (in flight) and not well define single levels
1 VERY good pointCheck with high flux normal matter pbar (proton) + Ps -> Hbar (Hydrogen)

Effect on B on Rydberg transport
Equation of motion under B and F // fields
1) F and B are time independent
Ekin, fin - Ekin, in = Epot, fin - Epot, in
No good numbers
MAJOR PROBLEM due to the 10 K energy at 1 Tesla for m=15
N=30, F=0
Solutions:1) Compensate with Electric field F (no : affect n k not m)2) Time dependent magnetic field ?? (1T in 100µs ?)3) Final B = Initial B: YES ? (in the magnetic trap)

Lifetime limitation on Rydberg transport
1) With Bfinal = Binitial I neglect the paramagnetic term2) I will neglect after the diamagnetic term in B2

Only the gradient of F (and B) are important not their value (neutral particlules)

Conclusion
1) Problem with 1T field (10 K for m~15)1) Solution ? Transport toward magnetic trap with same 1T field ?
2) Create Rydberg at rest1) Design to push the pbar -> Fast ? rethermalisation2) Transport the « slow » (m,k small) Rydberg the « fast » follow. Few
cm in 10 µs-> few mm cloud. Accelerate the deexcitation after the transport
3) Create Rydberg in well define state 1) Accelerate the deexcitation with F and B + ? Laser2) Excite with laser in a well define nkm Rydberg state3) Easy to design a decelerator for this particular state and calculate
the coupling toward a magnetic trap (best ? m=0)
4) Use the 3D picture and clever desing, check for anticrossings
