Blackbody-radiation-assisted laser cooling of molecular ions.
The translational motion of molecular ions can be effectively cooled sympathetically to temperatures below 100 mK in ion traps through Coulomb interactions with laser-cooled atomic ions. The distribution of internal rovibrational states, however, gets in thermal equilibrium with the typically much higher temperature of the environment within tens of seconds. We consider a concept for rotational...
متن کاملLaser cooling of trapped ions
Trapped and laser-cooled ions are increasingly used for a variety of modern high-precision experiments, for frequency standard applications, and for quantum information processing. Therefore laser cooling of trapped ions is reviewed, the current state of the art is reported, and several new cooling techniques are outlined. The principles of ion trapping and the basic concepts of laser cooling f...
متن کاملTowards Laser Cooling of Magnesium Ions for Sympathetic cooling of Highly Charged Ions at SPECTRAP
Experiments with highly charged ions (HCI), especially with H-like and Li-like ions are an excellent testing ground for quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong electric and magnetic fields and for precise measurements of fundamental constants. At the ESR, an experiment is being prepared to search for the hyperfine transition in lithiumlike Bi in order to disentangle nuclear structure from QED e...
متن کاملLaser cooling of molecular anions.
We propose a scheme for laser cooling of negatively charged molecules. We briefly summarize the requirements for such laser cooling and we identify a number of potential candidates. A detailed computation study with C_{2}^{-}, the most studied molecular anion, is carried out. Simulations of 3D laser cooling in a gas phase show that this molecule could be cooled down to below 1 mK in only a few ...
متن کاملLaser cooling of relativistic C ions at the ESR
Recent experiments [1,2] at the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI have shown that relativistic Li-like carbon (C) ion beams can be laser-cooled to an unprecedented momentum spread of p/p 10. Here, a single-frequency laser was tuned to the Doppler-shifted 1s2s 1s2p (P1/2 and P3/2) transitions. These results encourage the application of laser cooling to beams of other Liand Na-like ions at e...
