Search for correlation effects in linear chains of trapped ions
C. J. S. Donald, D. M. Lucas, P. A. Barton +5
We report a precise search for correlation effects in linear chains of 2 and 3 trapped Ca+ ions. Unexplained correlations in photon emission times within a linear chain of trapped…

Precision Measurement of the Lifetime of the 3d D_{5/2} state in 40Ca+
P. A. Barton, C. J. S. Donald, D. M. Lucas +3
We report a measurement of the lifetime of the 3d 2D_{5/2} metastable level in 40Ca+, using quantum jumps of a single cold calcium ion in a linear Paul trap. The 4s S_{1/2} - 3d D_…
