Measurement of Ultralow Heating Rates of a Single Antiproton in a Cryogenic Penning Trap
2019
We report on the first detailed study of motional heating in a cryogenic Penning trap using a single antiproton. Employing the continuous Stern-Gerlach effect we observe cyclotron quantum transition rates of 6(1) quanta/h and an electric field noise spectral density below $7.5(3.4)\times 10^{-20}\,\text{V}^{2}\text{m}^{-2} \text{Hz}^{-1}$, which corresponds to a scaled noise spectral density below $8.8(4.0)\times 10^{-12}\,\text{V}^{2}\text{m}^{-2}$, results which are more than two orders of magnitude smaller than those reported by other ion trap experiments.
