Why is this trap different from the other traps?

Beam lifetime
The lifetime of the beam is given by
n residual gas density v beam velocity
destruction cross section
Destruction cross section Mainly multiple
scattering and electron capture (neutralization)
from residual gas.

Does it really works like an optical resonator?

Time evolution of the bunch length
  • The bunch length increases because
  • Not all the particles have exactly the
  • same velocities (?v/v?5x10-4).
  • Not all the particles travel exactly
  • the same path length per oscillation.
  • The Coulomb repulsion force pushes
  • the particles apart.

After 1 ms (350 oscillations) the packet of
ions is as large as the ion trap

Q1 What keeps the charged particles
together? Q2 Why is self bunching occurring
for certain slopes of the potential? Q3 Nice
effect. What can you do with it?
There are only two forces working on the
particles The electrostatic field from the
mirrors and the repulsive Coulomb force between
the particles.

It is the Repulsive Coulomb forces that keeps the
ions together.
(Charles Coulomb is probably rolling over in his
grave)

Is dT/dPgt0 (or dT/dEgt0) a valid condition in the
real trap?
Negative mass instability region
dT/dE is calculated on the optical axis of the
trap, by solving the equations of
motion of a single ion in the
realistic potential of the trap.
