Sideband cooling of ion coulomb crystals in a Penning trap

This thesis reports on the progress of resolved sideband cooling on the S1/2 <-> D5\2 transition of 40Ca+ ions in a Penning trap. We demonstrate cooling of the axial motion of a single ion to the ground state over a wide range of trapping frequencies (67 kHz to 420 kHz) with a mean motional st...
