Towards 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 کاملPrecision Laser Spectroscopy of Forbidden Transitions in Highly Charged Ions
For extensive tests of the quantum electrodynamic theory, laser spectroscopy of highly charged ions provides an excellent test ground. In the SPECTRAP facility, systematic measurements on several species of highly charged ions will be possible with up to three orders of magnitude better spectroscopic resolution than in former experiments [1]. The setup will consist of the cryogenic Penning trap...
متن کاملA Penning trap for laser spectroscopy of cold, trapped, highly-charged ions
The HITRAP facility will soon provide highly charged ions (HCI) at very low energies and offers unique possibilities for laser spectroscopy of hydrogenlike and lithiumlike heavy ions. We are currently developing a dedicated Penning trap and laser system for this task in close collaboration with the Imperial College London, and the TU Darmstadt. This trap will be operated with a Helmholtztype su...
متن کامل1 9 Ja n 20 05 Plans for laser spectroscopy of trapped cold hydrogen - like HCI
Laser spectroscopy studies are being prepared to measure the 1s ground state hyperfine splitting in trapped cold highly charged ions. The purpose of such experiments is to test quantum electrodynamics in the strong electric field regime. These experiments form part of the HITRAP project at GSI. A brief review of the planned experiments is presented.
متن کاملObservation of the v ′ = 8 ← v = 0 vibrational overtone in cold trapped HD +
We report the observation of the hitherto undetected v′ = 8 ← v = 0 vibrational overtone in trapped HD+ molecular ions, sympathetically cooled by laser-cooled Be+ ions. The overtone is excited using 782 nm laser radiation, after which HD+ ions in v = 8 are photodissociated by the 313 nm laser used for Be+ cooling. The concomitant loss of HD+ is detected by the method of secular excitation (Roth...
