Laser-cooled ion plasmas in Penning traps¶
A laser-cooled ion plasma in a Penning trap provides a rigorous realization of a strongly coupled one-component plasma. After a brief review of the crystal structures that have been observed in Penning traps, we summarize two recent experiments. First we describe careful measurements of the stability of the plasma rotation which is controlled by a rotating electric field. We then discuss the ex...
متن کاملLaser-Cooled Mercury Ion Frequency Standard
A stable and accurate frequency standard based on the 40.5 GHz ground-state hyperfine transition in 199Hg1 ions is described. The ions are confined in a cryogenic linear Paul (rf ) trap and laser cooled to form a linear crystal. With seven ions and a Ramsey interrogation time of 100 s, the fractional frequency stability is 3.3 s2d 3 10213t21y2 for measurement times t , 2 h. The ground-state hyp...
متن کاملAnomalous behaviour of laser-cooled fast ion beams
We have observed a sudden disappearance of intrabeam scattering in a laser-cooled stored Be beam at the Heidelberg Test Storage Ring. The transition takes place at about 10 ions corresponding to a mean ion distance of '50μm. The disappearance of IBS is accompanied by a decrease of the longitudinal temperature by more than two orders of magnitude. At the same time, the transverse width of the io...
متن کاملLaser-generated waves and wakes in rotating ion crystals.
Locally excited plasma waves are generated in a Coulomb crystal by "pushing" with radiation pressure on a rotating cloud of laser-cooled 9Be+ ions. The waves form a stationary wake that is directly imaged through the dependence of the ion fluorescence on Doppler shifts, and theoretical calculations in a slab geometry are shown to accurately reproduce these images. The technique demonstrates a n...
متن کاملColouring cryo-cooled crystals: online microspectrophotometry
X-rays can produce a high concentration of radicals within cryo-cooled macromolecular crystals. Some radicals have large extinction coefficients in the visible (VIS) range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can be observed optically and spectrally. An online microspectrophotometer with high temporal resolution has been constructed that is capable of measuring UV/VIS absorption spectra (200-11...
