Imaging of single barium atoms in a second matrix site in solid xenon for barium tagging in a Xe double beta decay experiment
M. Yvaine, D. Fairbank, J. Soderstrom +134
Neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the most sensitive probes for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. One of the isotopes under investigation is $^{136}…
Spectroscopy of Ba and Ba deposits in solid xenon for barium tagging in nEXO
B. Mong, S. Cook, T. Walton +73
Progress on a method of barium tagging for the nEXO double beta decay experiment is reported. Absorption and emission spectra for deposits of barium atoms and ions in solid xenon m…
A simple radionuclide-driven single-ion source
M. Montero Díez, K. Twelker, W. Fairbank +54
We describe a source capable of producing single barium ions through nuclear recoils in radioactive decay. The source is fabricated by electroplating 148Gd onto a silicon α-particl…
Power-Law Distributions for a Trapped Ion Interacting with a Classical Buffer Gas
Ralph G. Devoe
Classical collisions with an ideal gas generate non-Maxwellian distribution functions for a single ion in a radio frequency ion trap. The distributions have power-law tails whose e…
