Abstract
Both the total number and trapping lifetime of near‐neon‐like gold ions held in an electron beam ion trap have been greatly increased by a process of ‘evaporative cooling.’ A continuous flow of low‐charge‐state ions into the trap cools the high‐charge‐state ions in the trap. Preliminary experimental results using titanium ions as a coolant are presented.Keywords
