Towards Ultracold Interaction - Optical trapping of Barium Ions and Rubidium Atoms — •Pascal Weckesser, Alexander Lambrecht, Julian Schmidt, Leon Karpa, and Tobias Schaetz — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

In the last years several experimental groups investigated collisions between laser-cooled atoms and ions, leading to a better understanding of the atom-ion interaction in many aspects [1-4]. Due to the RF-confinement of the ions these systems have been dominated by an intrinsic heating effect [5], limiting collision dynamics on the order of a few milli-Kelvin. A purely optical and electrostatic potential for both ions and atoms should overcome this effect [6] allowing to investigate ultracold interactions, such as cluster formation of an ion binding atoms wihtin the common 1/r4-potential [7].
Here we present our experimental setup combining simultaneously trapped Ba+ ions and Rb atoms in a far detunded bichromatic dipole trap. We discuss the properties of this novel trap, methods for extending the ion lifetime as well as prospective experiments within reach with the presented setup.
