Dynamics of ion loading into a linear Paul trap using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer

Abstract

We report on the dynamics of loading calcium ions into a linear Paul trap with ICP-MS. Ions are transported from the ICP-MS to the ion trap and isotopes are selectively laser-cooled, and then their laser induced fluorescence (LIF) is observed. We investigated the relationship between LIF and isotopic concentration in liquid samples and successfully obtained a calibration curve. This technique provides a novel tool for isotope analysis based on laser spectroscopy.
