We have investigated an extension of the buffer gas cooling technique to a non-neutral buffer gas. The proposed scheme will allow efficient mass-selective centering of ions confined in a Penning trap in situations where the use of a neutral damping agent is not possible. The present paper reviews the principle of the technique and reports on evidence for sideband cooling of antiprotons in an electron gas, obtained with the ATHENA apparatus at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator facility.
