Abstract
A novel RF (Paul) ion trap apparatus, capable of providing extremely tight confinement is described. Strong localization of trapped ions reduces an important source of noise when using the ions as an optical frequency standard. Alternative cooling schemes, which provide stronger localization than conventional Doppler cooling are also discussed.<>
