Cold Atomic Hydrogen Source @ T-Rex — •Jan Haack, Merten Heppener, Stefan Schmidt, Henrik-Lukas Schumacher, Marcel Willig, Andreas Wieltsch, and Randolf Pohl — Institut f. Physik Johannes Gutenberg-Univertität, Mainz

The Triton-Radius Experiment T-Rex at JGU Mainz aims at a first measurement of the 1S-2S transition in atomic tritium [1]. Such a measurement has the potential to improve the charge radius of the triton nucleus by a factor of 400, with an experimental accuracy of only 1 kHz. This is 100x less precise than the current measurements of the 1S-2S transition in H and D, [2,3]. T-Rex will use a cryogenic hydrogen (later tritium) beam and select low atomic velocities by a magnetic quadrupole guide. The slowest atoms will then be stopped using a Li MOT as a cold buffer gas, and trapped in a magnetic minimum trap. We will present the state of the experiment as well as an outlook.
