High-precision measurements of the (anti-)proton g-factor provide a stringent test of CPT invariance in the baryonic sector [1]. However, current cooling and state detection schemes are highly sensitive on the motional energy of the particles. For faster cooling to mK temperatures and efficient detection, we pursue an approach where a single, well-controlled atomic ion serves as a link to manipulate and detect the motional and spin state of a single (anti-)proton [2, 3].
An overview of the experimental setup including a cryogenic Penning trap stack for first demonstrations of the motional coupling between two 9Be+ ions in a double well potential is given. We report on the latest progress regarding trapping, manipulation and detection of the atomic ion. Prospects for proton loading and a micro-coupling trap are discussed.
