Electron capture from H2 to highly charged Th and Xe ions trapped at center-of-mass energies near 6 eV
Ions with charge states as high as 801 , produced in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory electron beam ion trap were extracted and transferred to a Penning ion trap ~RETRAP!. RETRAP was operated at cryogenic temperature in the field of a superconducting magnet. The stored low-energy ions collided occasionally with H2 molecules in the ultrahigh-vacuum environment of the trap, capturing on...
متن کاملComparison Between Liouville’s Theorem And Observed Latitudinal Distribution Of Trapped Ions In The Plasmapause Region
The presence of anisotropic plasma distributions, trapped at the Earth’s magnetic equator, has consequences for the electric field structure which must exist in equilibrium along the magnetic field line. Data from SCATHA and Dynamics Explorer 1indicated that the core ion distributions at the magnetic equator can be well described as bi-Maxwellian distributions, with a perpendicular temperature ...
متن کاملInstability of some equatorially trapped waves
[1] A high-frequency asymptotics approach within the Lagrangian framework shows that some exact equatorially trapped three-dimensional waves are linearly unstable when their steepness exceeds a specific threshold.

متن کاملDetecting Single , Trapped Ions
We have designed and constructed an experiment to trap a single ion in a Penning trap and measure its motion with an RF SQUID-based, superconducting detector. Using this apparatus we have detected the axial motion of a single, trapped N ion. We describe the theory of ion motion in an imperfect Penning trap and use this theory to explain our measurements on trapped ions. We describe and demonstr...
متن کاملTowards quantum information with trapped ions at NIST
We report experiments on coherent quantum-state synthesis and the control of trapped atomic ions. This work has the overall goal of performing large-scale quantum information processing; however, such techniques can also be applied to fundamental tests and demonstrations of quantum mechanical principles, as well as to the improvement of quantum-limited measurements.
