Abstract
We establish a theoretical model which quantitatively describes the dynamics of laser cooled ions confined in a radio-frequency (rf) trap. In our model the laser cooling efficiency and the rate of collisional radio-frequency (rf) heating are explicitly formulated. Considering the balance between these two effects, the ion temperature is determined at each trap parameter. This model precisely reproduces the laser-induced-fluorescence (LIF) line profile observed for 24 Mg+ ions.Keywords
