We report on a measurement of the characteristic temperature of an ultracold rubidium ion source, in which a cloud of laser-cooled atoms is converted to ions by photo-ionization. Extracted ion pulses are focused on a detector with a pulsed-field technique. The resulting experimental spot sizes are compared to particle-tracking simulations, from which an effective source temperature T = (3 ± 2) mK and the corresponding transversal reduced emittance [variant_greek_epsilon]r = 1.4 × 10-8 m rad [formula] are determined. Space charge effects that may affect the measurement are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
