Cooling of particles to mK-temperatures is essential for a variety experiments with trapped charged particles. However, many species interest lack suitable electronic transitions direct laser cooling. We study theoretically the remote sympathetic cooling single proton laser-cooled $^9$Be$^+$ in double-Penning-trap system. investigate three different schemes and find, based on analytical calculations numerical simulations, that two them are capable achieving temperatures about 10 mK times...
<title>Abstract</title> Coherent quantum transition spectroscopy is a powerful tool in quantum-sensing and metrology (1), information processing (2), accurate magnetometry (3), high-precision tests of the fundamental laws nature, searches for physics beyond Standard Model (4). In atomic measurements, it was applied with great success proton deuteron magnetic moment measurements (5), which culminated example MASER sub-parts per trillion resolution (6), record-constraints on neutron electric...
Abstract Precision measurements using low-energy antiprotons, exclusively available at the antimatter factory (AMF) of CERN 1 , offer stringent tests charge–parity–time (CPT) invariance, which is a fundamental symmetry in Standard Model particle physics 2 . These have been realized, for example, antiprotonic helium 3 and antihydrogen 4 In our cryogenic Penning-trap experiments 5 we measure magnetic moments 6,7 charge-to-mass ratios protons antiprotons now provide most precise test CPT...
We present the design and characterization of a cryogenic window based on an ultra-thin aluminized biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate foil at T < 10 K, which can withstand pressure difference larger than 1 bar leak rate <1×10-9 mbar l/s. Its thickness ∼1.7 μm makes it transparent to various types particles over broad energy range. To optimize transfer 100 keV antiprotons through window, we tested degrading properties different aluminum coated polymer foils thicknesses between 900...

To date, all precision measurements on single have been conducted this and provide stringent tests fundamental interactions their symmetries. However, magnetic field fluctuations from operation limit upcoming measurements. overcome limitation, we designed transportable antiproton trap system BASE-STEP to relocate laboratories with a calm environment. We anticipate that will facilitate enhanced...
We demonstrate a new temperature record for image-current mediated sympathetic cooling of single proton in cryogenic Penning trap by laser-cooled ^{9}Be^{+}. An axial mode 170 mK is reached, which 15-fold improvement compared to the previous best value. Our technique applicable any charged particle, so that measurements presented here constitute milestone toward next generation high-precision Penning-trap with exotic particles.
We demonstrate efficient subthermal cooling of the modified cyclotron mode a single trapped antiproton and reach particle temperatures T_{+}=E_{+}/k_{B} below 200 mK in preparation times shorter than 500 s. This corresponds to fastest resistive single-particle ever demonstrated. By particles such low energies, we detection spin transitions with an error rate <0.000 023, more 3 orders magnitude better previous best experiments. method has enormous impact on multi-Penning-trap experiments that...

Using advanced Penning trap systems, we have measured proton magnetic moments fractional uncertainties 300 parts in a trillion (p.p.t.) 1.5 billion (p.p.b.), respectively. combined measurements improve resolution previous best test that sector by more than factor 3000. Very recently, compared antiproton/proton charge-to-mass...
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is both incredibly successful and glaringly incomplete. Among the questions left open striking imbalance matter antimatter in observable universe which inspires experiments to compare fundamental properties matter/antimatter conjugates with high precision.
