Summary of work on cooled ion frequency standard, fiscal year 1984
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to develop techniques to overcome the fundamental limits of present frequency standards - the second and residual first-order Doppler shifts. To this end we study suitable frequency reference transitions in ions which are stored on electromagnetic traps and cooled by radiation pressure to < 1K.
