The cool on the hill: trapped ions in an EBIT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The energetics of ions trapped in an Electron Beam Ion Trap is reviewed, with particular reference to axial escape of the ions. Measurement of temperature as a machine diagnostic is illustrated. Control of the escape rate is shown to be an effective way to produce ultra-cold highly charged ions and to drive the ions through a phase transition. The nature of this phase transition, particular to trapped highly charged ions, is discussed and illustrated analytically.

Tests of a Laser Ion Source at the Heidelberg Electron Beam Ion Trap
A laser ion source (LIS) has been designed and successfully tested for loading the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (H-EBIT) with ions of practically all solid-state elements. A pulsed YAG:Nd laser (30 mJ, 8 ns) is used to produce plasma from a solid target. Lowly charged ions are extracted from the plasma and accelerated by a short high-voltage pulse, generating a pulsed ion beam with energy ...
متن کاملLaser cooling of trapped ytterbium ions with an ultraviolet diode laser.
We demonstrate an ultraviolet diode laser system for cooling of trapped ytterbium ions. The laser power and linewidth are comparable to those of previous systems based on resonant frequency doubling, but the system is simpler, more robust, and less expensive. We use the laser system to cool small numbers of ytterbium ions confined in a linear Paul trap. From the observed spectra, we deduce fina...
متن کاملSensing of Iron Ions by Solid Phase Spectrophotometry
A new sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron using a PVC membrane containing bathophenanthroline and dioctylphethalate as the solid phase extraction medium is investigated. Fe(II) in an aqueous sample solution is trapped on the membrane with an anion species, picrate ion and forms a complex with bathophenanthroline. The absorbance of the red-orange m...
متن کاملSympathetic cooling of trapped ions for quantum logic
One limit to the fidelity of quantum logic operations on trapped ions arises from heating of the ions’ collective modes of motion. Sympathetic cooling of the ions during the logic operations may eliminate this source of errors. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of this proposal, and describe possible experimental implementations. We also present an overview of trapped-ion dynamics in this s...
متن کاملAn electron beam ion trap for charge breeding of radioactive isotopes
Rapid charge breeding of short-lived radioactive isotopes produced in ISOL facilities or through fragment separation is a prerequisite for the viability of schemes aiming at accurate mass measurements using Penning traps and the reacceleration of such ions with compact accelerators. We have developed a new electron beam ion trap (EBIT) with short breeding times for these purposes, which is curr...
