Resonance coupling induced enhancement of indirect transverse cooling in a laser-cooled ion beam

We report the first observation of indirect resonantly enhanced transverse laser cooling of a bunched, stored ion beam of 40 keV ^{24}Mg^{+}. The longitudinal velocity distribution and the horizontal beam size of the laser-cooled ^{24}Mg^{+} ion beam with 280 nm laser light were simultaneously obser...
