Observation of Cold Collisions between Trapped Ions and Trapped Atoms

We study cold collisions between trapped ions and trapped atoms in the semiclassical (Langevin) regime. Using Yb(+) ions confined in a Paul trap and Yb atoms in a magneto-optical trap, we investigate charge-exchange collisions of several isotopes over three decades of collision energies down to 3  μ...
