Hello,
Would it be possible for an electron and positron to form a cooper pair if an electron is brought into the neighborhood of the positron who is anchored in a penning trap (or in some other fashion)?
If normal cooper pairs form by using the the attractive force of the lattice deformation, does that mean the electron and positrons own opposite charges can act as the catalyst to form this state?
If that is possible, would the pair turn into a 'boson' or become charge neutral and fall apart? If they keep their "local charge" (so the positron stays in the penning trap) but still is treated as a boson, would you be able to carry how ever many positrons you wanted in a single trap since they are 'bosons' now?
Thanks,
Josh
PS I'm a newbie so I apologize if this question seems a little bit naive
