Ions like their traps cold. Therefore, as time goes by, more and more ion trapping experiments make use of cryogenic environments. However, designing and operating a cryogenic setup is still challenging. This technical meeting is intended to connect the community interested in trapping ions in cryogenic environments. Our speakers will introduce their cryogenic setups, discussing their design, performance, and limitations. Ample time is reserved for technical discussion and exchange of experiences.
