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 …

Optical spectroscopy in the gas phase is a key tool for elucidating the structure of atoms and
molecules and their interaction with external fields. The line resolution is usually limited by a …

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 …

An individual atomic ion localized in the center of a small Paul RF quadrupole trap has
potential as an ultimate laser frequency standard because the ion may be brought toa state …

Frequency shifts of hyperfine splittings of S 1 2 2 states due to the blackbody radiation field
are calculated. It is shown that they can be estimated from the dc hyperfine Stark shifts …

This volume is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of time and time measurement,
from an historical perspective to the modern day. It discusses the stability and accuracy of …

The technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy has been used to measure the
isotope shifts of the even-even isotopes of Hg (Z= 80) in the mass range 182≤ A≤ 198 at …

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 …
