Blue-sky bifurcation of ion energies and the limits of neutral-gas sympathetic cooling of trapped ions

Sympathetic cooling of trapped ions with neutral buffer gases is a widespread technique, but its limitations are not entirely understood. Here, the authors examine barion ions immersed in a gas of calcium atoms, and observe nonequlibrium behaviour through bifurcations in the ions steady-state temper...
