Electron–positron plasmas are unique in their behavior due to the mass symmetry. Strongly magnetized electron–positron, or pair, plasmas are present in a number of astrophysical settings, such as astrophysical jets, but they have not yet been created in the laboratory. Plans for the creation and diagnosis of pair plasmas in a stellarator are presented, based on extrapolation of the results from the Columbia Non-neutral Torus stellarator, as well as recent developments in positron sources. The particular challenges of positronium injection and pair plasma diagnostics are addressed.
