This second volume of the Charged Particle Traps deals with the
rapidly expanding body of research exploiting the electromagnetic
con?nement of ions, whose principles and techniques were the
subject of volume I. These applications include revolutionary
advances in diverse ?elds, ranging from such practical ?elds as
mass spectrometry, to the establishment of an ult- stable standard
of frequency and the emergent ?eld of quantum computing made
possible by the observation of the quantum behavior of laser-cooled
con?nedions. Bothexperimentalandtheoreticalactivity
intheseapplications has proliferated widely, and the number of
diverse articles in the literature on its many facets has reached
the point where it is useful to distill and organize the published
work in a uni?ed volume that de?nes the current status of the ?eld.
As explained in volume I, the technique of con?ning charged
particles in suitable electromagnetic ?elds was initially conceived
by W. Paul as a thr- dimensional version of his rf quadrupole mass
?lter. Its ?rst application to rf spectroscopy on atomic ions was
completed in H. G. Dehmelt's laboratory where notable work was
later done on the free electron using the Penning trap. The further
exploitation of these devices has followed more or less -
dependently along the two initial broad areas: mass spectrometry
and high resolution spectroscopy. In volume I a detailed account is
given of the theory of operation and experimental techniques of the
various forms of Paul and Penning ion traps.
Over the last quarter of this century, revolutionary advances have
been made both in kind and in precision in the application of
particle traps to the study of thephysics of charged particles,
leading to intensi?ed interest in, and wide proliferation of, this
topic. This book is intended as a timely addition to the
literature, providing a systematic uni?ed treatment of the subject,
from the point of view of the application of these devices to
fundamental atomic and particle physics.

mass ?lter, for which he shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in physics
[1], whereas H.G. Dehmelt who also shared the 1989 Nobel Prize [2]
saw these devices (including the Penning trap) as a way of
isolating electrons and ions, for the purposes of high resolution
spectroscopy. These two broad areas of appli- tion have developed
more or less independently, each attaining a remarkable degree of
sophistication and generating widespread interest and experimental
activity.
