  1. Laser Laboratory (-ies) Peter Müller

  2. Oven: 225Ra (+Ba) Transverse cooling Zeeman Slower EDM probe Optical dipole trap Search for EDM of 225Ra • Advantages: • Large enhancement: • EDM(Ra) / EDM(Hg) ~ 200 – 2000 • Efficient use of 225Ra atoms • High electric field (> 100 kV/cm) • Long coherence times (~ 100 s) • Negligible “v x E” systematic effect

  3. Search forEDM of 225Ra ~ 1x104 226Ra atoms 2 mm gap > 100 kV/cm • Status: • Trapped 225Ra and 226Ra • EDM probing region constructed • 10-10 Torr, 100 kV/cm, 10 mG • Next steps: • Dipole trap transfer • Optical pumping and detection

  4. 81Kr / 39Ar Atom Trap Trace Analysis • Krypton-81 : • cosmogenic • half-life = 230 ka • 81Kr/Kr = 1 x 10-12 • Argon-39 : • cosmogenic • half-life = 270 a • 39Ar/Ar = 8 x 10-16 • Dark Matter Searches : • LAr detectors (WARP, DEAP/CLEAN) • 39Ar major background • search for old / depleted Argon • Radio-Argon Dating : • 50 – 1000 year range • study ocean and groundwater • previously with LLC and AMS WIMP Argon Programme

  14. PMT / EMCCD Linear Paul Trap for Spectroscopy black, conductively coated electrodes ITO coated optics Ba+ • open geometry, linear Paul trap -> large light collection efficiency • buffer gas w. LN2 cooling, -> good spectroscopic resolution, quenching of dark states • -> few (single ?) ion detection sensitivity

  15. Ba Isotopes Ion Trap Spectroscopy at CARIBU Linear Paul trap for spectroscopy • Initially with neutron-rich Ba+ • Isotope shift + moments (HFS) • Use RF cooler / buncher & transfer line To investigate: • optimized trap geometry and detectionsystem • Buffer gas cooling + quenching (with H2) • Cooling of trap with LN2 Future: • other CARIBU beams • High mass: Pr, Nd, Eu, … • Low mass: Y, Zr, Nb, Sr, … • Yb+ -> No+ with ATLAS Upgrade

  16. Collinear Laser Spectroscopy • High spectroscopic resolution • High sensitivity through bunched beams • Neutral atoms w/charge-exchange • Measure for the first time: Rh, Ru, … • Extend isotopic chains on: Sn, Mo, Nb, … Other opportunities: • Laser polarized beams, e.g., Kr, Xe … • Laser polarization in matrix (solid noble gasses) • Resonance ionization to suppress isobars/isomers • … … 2011

  20. Discussion Points • Need 1+ charge state for “heavy” isotopes • Operate RF cooler & buncher with neon ? • Charge exchange 2+ to 1+ (???) on gas target • Beam energies, extraction voltage etc. • Location and type of stable beam sources • Gas catcher after gas filled separator • Where to put it to have “low energy beams” area? • For heavy elements or, e.g., Sn-100
