Development of a Hybrid Multipolar RF trap for Precision Measurements

This contribution will present the development of a hybrid ion trap capable of operating in different trapping configurations. The trap is designed with the intention of capturing and performing precision studies of atoms and molecules containing short-lived isotopes produced at radioactive beam facilities. The physics goals include entangled-state isotope shift measurements for searches of King nonlinearity from BSM couplings, trapping molecular ion nuclear EDM searches, and obtaining higher-order nuclear structure observables. The various trapping configurations are simulated in COMSOL, where stability regions are mapped out and typical ion trajectories are characterized. Simulations and experimental progress will be presented.
