Popis: Progress toward the development of a novel multicell Penning-Malmberg trap is described that will be capable of accumulating orders of magnitude more positrons than is possible presently. This design represents the next major step in antimatter storage technology. Experiments with test electron plasmas establishing techniques critical to the implementation of a practical multicell trap are presented. The latest design for a 21 cell trap capable of accumulating and storing more than 5 x 10^^ positrons is described. This trap could facilitate multiplexing the output of the new generation of positron sources either operating now or currently under development, as well as the potential to provide record-high bursts of positrons for a variety of applications.
