Can anti-matter be stored in super conducting magnetic cylinders?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of storing antimatter using superconducting magnetic cylinders, given the high energy costs associated with antimatter production and storage. The idea is that superconductors, which have no energy losses, could effectively maintain a magnetic field for antimatter containment. Participants are curious if this method has been explored at research facilities like CERN. Current literature on the topic is referenced to provide context on existing research. The conversation highlights the challenges and potential innovations in antimatter storage technology.

frankly i don't know much about anti-matter or super conductors...i just read an into-level topic on anti-matter and had a thought.
the main concern while developing an energy source is that its feasibility should be considered...right? and the problem with anti-matter is that it takes too much energy to produce and then store it.
i was just wondering whether it can be stored in a superconducting magnetic tube?
i mean there are no losses in a super conductor and consequently the magnetic field will be able to store it easily . that is what i was thinking. has anyone done this thing at cern or anywhere else yet?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
