  Radio-frequency (rf) Paul traps operated with multifrequency rf trapping
potentials provide the ability to independently confine charged particle
species with widely different charge-to-mass ratios. In particular, these traps
may find use in the field of antihydrogen recombination, allowing antiproton
and positron clouds to be trapped and confined in the same volume without the
use of large superconducting magnets. We explore the stability regions of
two-frequency Paul traps and perform numerical simulations of small,
multispecies charged-particle mixtures that indicate the promise of these traps
for antihydrogen recombination.
