10 cm Coilgun Front trap coil Rear trap coil Figure 5.15: A CAD image of the hydrogen coilgun and trap along with the slowing and trapping vacuum chambers respectively. There are 18 coilgun coils, with 12.45mm spacing center to center (except where the slowing chamber and trapping chamber meet, where the coils are 28.65 mm apart). Figure 5.16: Photograph of the assembled slowing and trapping chambers, with the coilgun coils and trapping coils wound around the chambers themselves. 139
Ionizer 500 l/s Turbo Pump Ion Optics Quadrupole Figure 5.17: A CAD image of the hydrogen detection chamber with a mockup of the Ardara Technologies ionizer and quadrupole. The front of the ionizer sits 6.04 cm from the center of the trapping volume. The trapping chamber is a 6-way 1.33 inch conflat cross with tubes made of the same dimensions as the coilgun chamber’s tube. This chamber is made from 304 stainless steel, since it would be difficult to construct this chamber from titanium. The center of the trapping volume is 6.30 cm from the start of the chamber. The final three coilgun coils are wound around this chamber, and the junction between the coilgun and trapping chambers leads to a center-to-center distance of 28.65 mm between coils 15 and 16, instead of the 12.45 mm between the other coilgun coils. The cross arms of the chamber allow for optical access to the trapped atoms, which will be important for laser detection and spectroscopy (see section 5.4.1). Finally, the chamber extends past the trap to another 1.33 inch conflat 5.03 cm from the center of the trapping volume, which connects to the detection chamber. The detection chamber serves two purposes in the experiment. First, it houses the Ardara Technologies ionizer and quadrupole mass spectrometer used to for detec- 140
