Neither.  {HoS lIngmeH} "in order to generate power".  A {HoS lIngwI'} is a 
power generator:

   HoS lIngwI' wIjuS
   We're passing a power generator. CK

Here's the sentence broken down very literally:

"for-them-to-study-it(rugh) antimatter is-being-made but power 
in-order-to-produce-it(HoS) it(rugh)-is-not-being-made"

And more colloquially:

"Antimatter is being made to study, but not to generate power."
