Characterization and Reduction of Number Dependent Sensitivity in Multi-Pole Linear Ion Trap Standards

E.A. Burt, R.L. Tjoelker

Abstract:	The Multi-pole Linear Ion Trap Standard developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has demonstrated excellent short and long-term stability and improved immunity from two of its remaining systematic effects, the second order Doppler shift and second order Zeeman shift. The technology has also demonstrated long-term operation in the field. In this paper we discuss the LITS systematic effects and present the characterization and reduction of the primary shifts and their dependence on ion number.
