Laser-Cooled Ions in Hybrid Optical/Electrical Traps for Studying Collision Physics in Strongly-Coupled Plasmas
Abstract
This document is the final report on Project FA9550-17-1-0302, Laser-cooled ions in hybrid optical/electrical traps for studying collision physics in strongly-coupled plasmas. The primary motivation for this work is to understand collision physics in the strongly-coupled neutral plasma regime. Research supported by this grant resulted in 7 peer-reviewed publications, 8 invited talks, and 17 contributed conference presentations at national meetings from 2017 to 2022. Highlights include building a hybrid ion/MOT trap at BYU, creating and characterizing the first dual-ion species ultracold neutral plasma, measuring temperature relaxation in a dual-species plasma, and organizing two DPP mini-conferences on topics related to this research.
