Abstract

The purpose of this project was to produce a slow controlled beam of Strontium (Sr) ions. This is a key step in a proposed experiment to build an ion interferometer capable of measuring electric fields to a degree of sensitivity that has never been done before. This device will be useful in conducting a number of new experiments and will help test and push the boundaries of modern electromagnetic theory.
