The ion trap, the electrodes and the in-vacuum BBR shield are installed under the liquid-nitrogen container,keeping the ions in a cryogenic environment at liquid-nitrogen temperature. Compared with the first design in our previous work, many improvements have been made to increase the performance. The liquid-nitrogen maintenance time has been increased by about three times by increasing the volume of the liquid-nitrogen container;the trap position recovery time after refilling the liquid-nitrogen container has been decreased more than three times by using a better fixation scheme in the liquid-nitrogen container;and the magnetic field noise felt by the ions has been decreased more than three times by a better design of the magnetic shielding system. These optimizations make the scheme for reducing the BBR shift uncertainty of liquid-nitrogen-cooled optical clocks more mature and stable, and develop a stable lock with a narrower linewidth spectrum,which would be very beneficial for further reducing the overall systematic uncertainty of optical clocks.展开更多

By the technique of time domain＇s Ramsey separated oscillatory fields, the buffer gas pressure frequency shifts of 199^Hg^＋ clock transition are measured to be （df/dPNe）（1/f） = 1.8 × 10^-8 Torr^-1 for neon and （df/dPHe） （1/f） = 9.1 × 10^-8 Torr^-1 for helium. Meanwhile, the line-width of 199^Hg^＋ clock transition spectrum with the buffer gas neon is narrower than that with helium at the same pressure. These experimental results show that neon is a more suitable buffer gas than helium in 199^Hg^＋ ions microwave frequency standards because of the 199^Hg^＋ clock transition is less sensitive to neon variations and the better cooling effect of neon. The optimum operating pressure for neon is found to be about 1.0 × 10^-5 Torr in our linear ion trap system.展开更多

The method was based on the well known ＂ion trapping＂ phenomenon in electron storage rings. In the R^D experiments at Kyoto University, stable nucleus, 133^Cs, was employed as the target nucleus. The luminosity of scattering experiment was nearly 1026 cm^-2s^-1 at electron beam current around 75 mA. The angular distribution of elastically scattered electrons from trapped Cs ions was measured and the result was well fitted by theoretical calculation. It was indicated that higher luminosity can be reached with larger electron beam current.展开更多

INTRODUCTIONThe behavior of trapped He atoms in type HR-1 stainless steel after He implantation at room temperature has been reported in our previous paper. A further study on the influence of temperature is of importance, since in practice the structural materials for the reactors may be situated in a high temperature environment so that the conditions of He build-up usually combine with high temperatures. Therefore, in this report is investigated the influence of the target temperature during implantation on He trapping.展开更多
