Experimental implementation of laser cooling of trapped ions in strongly inhomogeneous magnetic fields

We demonstrate the Doppler laser cooling of ^{40}Ca^{+} ions confined in a segmented linear Paul trap in the presence of a strong quadrupolar magnetic field generated by two permanent ring magnets. Magnetic field gradients of 800 to 1600 G/mm give rise to a highly position-dependent Zeeman shift on...
