Abstract

Cold atomic and molecular ion-atom collision processes in a special hybrid neutral-atom-ion trap were investigated under high-vacuum conditions. Collisional cooling of laser precooled Ca+ ions by ultracold Na atoms was studied. The cross sections and rate coefficients for the charge transfer and the elastic and spin-exchange collisions were calculated from the adiabatic potential curves for the (NaCa)+ molecular system.
