A scheme is proposed for the preparation of a tagged highly polarized antineutron beam, so far not available for experiments. Unpolarized antineutron fluxes are expected to exceed previous intensities by more than an order of magnitude. The…

The lifetime of an atom trap is often limited by the presence of residual background gases in the vacuum chamber. This leads to the lifetime being inversely proportional to the pressure. Here we use this dependence to estimate the pressure…
