Towards Ultracold Li−Ba⁺ Interactions — •Markus Debatin, Pascal Weckesser, Fabian Thielemann, Yannick Minet, Julian Schmidt, Alexander Lambrecht, Leon Karpa, and Tobias Schaetz — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Freiburg, Germany

Research on the interplay of atoms and ions allows to observe a large variety of interesting physics phenomena [1]. Optical trapping of ions [2] allows to overcome heating effects caused by technical and intrinsic micromotion, which is ubiquitous in Paul traps [3].

We are currently setting a novel experiment targeting ultracold interactions between Ba⁺ ions and Li atoms. We give details on our strategy to combine an Ion trap with homogenous mangetic fields required for tuning Li interac- tions and good optical access necessary for optical trapping of Ba + Ions and imaging of both species.
