We, the BASE collaboration, perform most precise tests of the CPT symmetry in the baryon sector by measurement of the proton and antiproton magnetic moment and the proton-to-antiproton charge-to-mas ratio.
Our latest high-precision measurement of the proton magnetic moment at the proton g-factor experiment in Mainz is limited by statistics. The reason is that the current use of sub-thermal cooling of a single proton by a resistive method - an extremely time-consuming technique - leads to cycle times of hours.
To overcome this limitation sympathetic cooling by laser-cooled Be+ ions is planned in a common-end-cap Penning trap: The method not only promises to produce protons or antiprotons with mK temperatures within tens of seconds but also achieves separation of the cooled ion and the refrigerator ion - a feature distinct from other ongoing efforts to sympathetically cool antiprotons.
We present the current setup of the proton g-factor experiment and report on the status of our laser cooling experiments.
