Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the high-resolution experiments that have
employed the stored ion technique. The main advantage of the stored ion techniques is that …

The motion of an ion in a Penning trap has been investigated in the presence of an
azimuthal quadrupole radio frequency field and a damping force provided by buffer gas …

Over the last quarter of this century, revolutionary advances have been made both in kind
and in precision in the application of particle traps to the study of thephysics of charged …

We present, and derive analytic expressions for, a fundamental limit to the sympathetic
cooling of ions in radio-frequency traps using cold atoms. The limit arises from the work …

The tandem Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP has been set up at the on-line
mass separator ISOLDE at CERN/Geneva for accurate mass measurements of short-lived …

Ion-collision and ion-excited level mean lifetime measurements carried out in Paul, Penning
and Kingdon ion traps are briefly reviewed. Low energy spin-dependent charged particle …

In many experiments utilizing ion traps, the ions must be cooled in order to increase the
precision and accuracy of the measurements. Laser cooling is very effective when it can be …

This second volume of the Charged Particle Traps deals with the rapidly expanding body of
research exploiting the electromagnetic confinement of ions, whose principles and …

The distribution function for Brownian motion of a parametric oscillator is calculated exactly
with the help of continued fraction expansions in the long time limit. We derive expressions …

Preliminary findings are presented of a simulation study of resonance excitation of gaseous
ions stored within a quadrupole ion trap. The ion trap was operated in the common mode …
