Towards laser cooling of atomic anions — •Alban Kellerbauer — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg

Currently available cooling techniques for negatively charged particles allow cooling only to the temperature of the surrounding environment, typically a few kelvin. Laser cooling of atomic anions could be used to produce an ensemble of negative particles at microkelvin temperatures. These could sympathetically cool any species of negatively charged particles – from antiprotons to molecular anions – to ultracold temperatures. For this indirect cooling technique [1], a fast electronic transition is required. Until now, there are only three known atomic anions with bound–bound electric-dipole transitions. We have investigated these transitions in Os [2] and La [3] by high-resolution laser spectroscopy to test their suitability for laser cooling. The principle of the method, its potential applications, as well as recent experimental results will be presented.
