An ion trap source of cold atomic hydrogen via photodissociation of the BaH+ molecular ion
I present a novel scheme for producing cold (magnetically trappable) atomic hydrogen, based on threshold photodissociation of the BaH ^+ molecular ion. BaH ^+ can be sympathetically cooled using laser cooled Ba ^+ in an ion trap, before it is photodissociated on the single photon A ^1 Σ ^+ ← X ^1 Σ...
