Title :
Using laser spectroscopy to study the non-maxwellian statistics of trapped ions
Author_Institution :
Varian Phys., Stanford Univ., Stanford, CO, USA
Abstract :
Trapped ions cooled by a buffer gas can form an extended diffuse cloud dominated by power-law tails, rather than the Gaussian expected by Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, as described[1] in PRL 102, 063001 (2009).
