Applications of laser cooled ions in a Penning trap

  • 1. Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, Prince Consort Rd, London SW7 2AZ (United Kingdom)

Description

This paper aims to describe in basic terms how the different types of ion traps work, giving some examples of their use. It then discusses some recent 'exotic' designs of ion traps and shows how they are optimized for particular experiments. Recent work at Imperial College London is used to illustrate some of the ideas introduced in this paper. (tutorial)
