Cyclotron Radiation Signal Characterization in Resonant Cavities for the Project 8 Neutrino Mass Experiment
A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, H. P. Binney +60
Many experimental methods in physics require understanding radiation from single particles into non-trivial electromagnetic mode structures. Such characterization is critical for C…
Visualizing Mathieu-Type Dynamics in a Tabletop Magnetic Trap: A Coil-Driven Parametric Oscillator
William Ho, Anna Klales, Daniel Davis +4
We present a tabletop demonstration of dynamic stabilization and ponderomotive-like trapping using a pair of sinusoidally-driven anti-Helmholtz coils and a suspended permanent magn…
Non-orbital particle trapping in binary black holes through dynamic stability
Ali Kurmus, Michal Zajacek, Greg Kestin +1
We present an interdisciplinary comparison between binary black hole systems and Radio Frequency (RF) Paul Traps, modeling the gravitational binary system as a rotating saddle near…
The asymmetric rotating saddle potential as a mechanical analog to the RF Paul trap
Aidan Carey, Laurel Barnett, Robert Hart +3
Under specific conditions, a rotating saddle potential can confine the motion of a particle on its surface. This time-varying hyperbolic potential shares key characteristics with t…
