The TRIUMF Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) facility is a multi-component ion trap system that provides unique research possibilities in the fields of atomic, nuclear, neutrino and particle physics. The system is set up for maximum performance with short-lived radioactive nuclei, and hence provides an ideal tool for experiments at ISAC, a world-class exotic beam facility, located at TRIUMF. Proposed experiments to be carried out with TITAN include high precision mass determination for testing the Standard Model of Particle Physics, studies of the properties of nuclei far away from the valley of stability, and to gain better understanding of halo nuclei (atomic nuclei with a very large 'neutron skin'). One of the key new features of TITAN will be the capability to work with highly charged ions bred in an electron-beam ion trap (EBIT). To reduce the kinetic energy of the highly charged ions exiting the EBIT, we are developing a cooler Penning trap where clouds of highly charged ions are confined simultaneously with a cold electron or proton plasma, resulting in the sympathetic cooling of the highly charged ions.

TRIUMF用于原子和核科学的离子阱（TITAN）设施是一个多组件离子阱系统，为原子，核，中微子和粒子物理学领域提供了独特的研究可能性。该系统的建立是为了最大限度地利用短寿命放射性核，因此为位于TRIUMF的世界级奇异束设施ISAC的实验提供了理想的工具。建议与泰坦进行的实验包括高精度的质量测定，以测试粒子物理学的标准模型，研究远离稳定谷的原子核的性质，并更好地了解晕核（具有非常大的“中子皮”的原子核）。TITAN的关键新功能之一将是与电子束离子阱（EBIT）中孕育的高电荷离子一起工作的能力。为了减少离开EBIT的高电荷离子的动能，我们正在开发一种更冷的潘宁阱，其中高电荷离子云与冷电子或质子等离子体同时被限制，从而导致高电荷离子的共振冷却。
