First Ion Trapping
ver comunicado en castellano acá We present a chronicle of the first month of measurements and fine tuning after the first ion trapping. On February 7 we trapped ions for the first time. Here is an image of one of Read More …
Ion trap repair
Our ion trap had a short circuit. We had to open the vacuum and reapir it. Se a few pictures of the process.
Calcium Fluorescence
September 2017 In getting things ready to trap ions. We’ve observed calcium florescence on a hollow cathode lamp. This project is part of Matias Cveczilberg’s undergraduate Thesis. This laser will be used for REMPI ionization of neutral Calcium to get Read More …
LIAF – First two lasers
And it didn’t take long after the arrival of the optical tables for Luis and Ulises to measure their first PDH signal! And for Noelia to measure her first Rubidium absorption spectra! With our two lab spaces ready for science Read More …
First two optical tables arrive
On October 2016 we received our first two optical tables. Here are some pictures of how we got them into the lab and how they look in place. The crane on our back lifting the legs of the tables through Read More …
LIAF – Infrastructure
We started heavy construction work installing new air conditioning, electrics, painting, shelves etc. Most of the work was done by Andres Lemes with help from good part of our technical department. And even before they were finished, we decided we Read More …
LIAF – Moving in
We started building our new lab where previously M. Sigman had his Neuroscience lab, where previously H. Simon had his Optics Lab. This is how it looked just before the last occupants left: After some reordering we had our first Read More …
LIAF Foundation
The LIAF (Laboratory of Cold Ions and Atoms) is a new laboratory that we are creating within the framework of our group. Its creation was approved by the Department of Physics and the Institute of Physics of Buenos Aires. LIAF Read More …
