Our experiment consists of a hybrid trapping apparatus that simultaneously traps laser-cooled neutral atoms (Rb) and ions (Sr+ ). We are using a mixture of Rb atoms and ions. Our set-up is composed out of two vacuum chambers connected through a low vacuum conductance port, shown schematically below.
