Design, Development and Operation of Novel Ion Trap Geometries

Novel Desings for Ion Traps

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book centres around the discussion of the
advantages and disadvantages of various designs of
ion traps. The first chapter introduces the topic of
ion traps to clarify the local context of this work.
In the second chapter the proposal of a novel design
for a Penning ion trap is presented. It is shown
that this trap, called the wire trap, has many
advantages over traditional designs due to its open
geometry and scalability. In the third chapter the
development of two scalable RF wire traps is
presented. Both designs are based on the geometry of
the wire trap. In the following chapter, the design,
simulation, construction and testing of a wire trap
prototype is presented. The fifth chapter presents
another novel design for a planar Penning trap. This
design, called the two plate trap, shares many
advantages of the wire traps, including the
scalability. The sixth chapter of this book deals
with the design of a cylindrical Penning trap for
the storage of highly charged ions. Finally, in the
last chapter, a summary of the original
contributions of this work is presented.
