Neutral gas sympathetic cooling of an ion in a Paul trap

A single ion immersed in a neutral buffer gas is studied. An analytical model is developed that gives a complete description of the dynamics and steady-state properties of the ions. An extension of this model, using techniques borrowed from the mathematics of finance, is used to explain the recent observation of non-Maxwellian statistics for these systems. Taken together, these results offer an explanation of the longstanding issues associated with sympathetic cooling of an ion by a neutral buffer gas.
