Abstract

We present an ion trap design of end-cap geometry and numerically calculate its potential. An rf-resonator of quality factor 800(20) has been fabricated for delivering high voltage to the trap. An optical frequency standard will be developed by trapping and laser cooling a single ¹⁷¹Yb⁺. Optical arrangements for photoionization, laser cooling and detection are also described.
