Abstract
We present simulations of electron and proton cooling of highly charged ions in a Penning trap, including the potentially detrimental effects of radiative, dielectronic, and three-body recombination in electron cooling. We show a preliminary design for a cooler trap accommodating both electron and proton cooling, which will be a component of the TITAN ion-trap facility under construction at TRIUMF for precision mass measurements of short-lived radioactive nuclei.
