It is intended to extend present understanding of how to achieve overlap of oppositely signed plasma species within nested Penning traps. (Penning traps are a plasma confinement approach which employs an applied electric field to provide charged particle confinement along an applied magnetic field.) The emphasis is on how to overlap positron and antiproton plasmas so that recombination takes place and trapping of antihydrogen atoms is possible.

其目的是扩展目前对如何在嵌套潘宁陷阱内实现相反符号等离子体物种重叠的理解。 （彭宁陷阱是一种等离子体限制方法，它利用外加电场来沿着外加磁场提供带电粒子限制。）重点是如何重叠正电子和反质子等离子体，以便发生重组并捕获反氢原子。
