Field Deviations in Dipole-Driven Linear Paul Traps: Effects of Endcap Boundaries and their Minimization

Vaibhav Mahendrakar, Nishant Joshi, S. A. Rangwala

Deviations from both the ideal linear Paul trap (LPT) geometry as well as the ideal quadrupole driving scheme introduce imperfections to ion trapping potentials. We investigate the…

Endcap-Type Paul Trap for Precision Spectroscopy and Studies of Controlled Interactions

Anand Prakash, Akhil Ayyadevara, E. Krishnakumar +5

We present the design and fabrication of an endcap-type Paul trap. The trap is designed for studies with Ca and Yb. The design, fabrication process, and characterizatio…

Symmetry-controlled thermal activation in pyramidal Coulomb clusters: Testing Kramers-Langer theory

Akhil Ayyadevara, Anand Prakash, Shovan Dutta +2

Laser-cooled ions confined in electromagnetic traps provide a unique, tunable mesoscopic system where the interplay of the trapping potential, nonlinear Coulomb interactions, and l…

Observing the dynamics of octupolar structural transitions in trapped-ion clusters

Akhil Ayyadevara, Anand Prakash, Shovan Dutta +2

Interacting many-particle systems can self-organize into a rich variety of crystalline structures. While symmetry provides a powerful framework for predicting whether transitions b…

Real-time antiproton annihilation vertexing with sub-micron resolution

M. Berghold, D. Orsucci, F. Guatieri +63

The primary goal of the AEgIS experiment is to precisely measure the free fall of antihydrogen within Earth's gravitational field. To this end, a cold ~50K antihydrogen beam has to…

Cavity based non-destructive detection of photoassociation in a dark MOT

V. I. Gokul, Arun Bahuleyan, S. P. Dinesh +2

The photoassociation (PA) of rubidium dimer (Rb2) in a dark magneto-optic trap (MOT) is studied using atom-cavity collective strong coupling. This allows non-destructive detection…
