The supersymmetries of interest occur when the ratio of the cyclotron frequency to the axial frequency is 3/2 and the particle has anomalous magnetic moment 4/3 or 2/3. At these supersymmetric points, the spectrum shows uniformly spaced crossed levels. The associated superalgebras are su(2|1) and su(1|1). The phase space for this problem has an osp(2|6) structure and contains all the degeneracy superalgebras.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-05-14T17:55:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32.80.Pj", "03.65.Ge", "02.10.-v" ], "keywords": [ "penning trap", "phase space", "single fermion", "supersymmetric points", "anomalous magnetic moment" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "doi": "10.1063/1.1404386", "year": 2001, "month": "Nov", "volume": 42, "number": 11, "pages": 5315 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 557438, "adsabs": "2001JMP....42.5315R" } } }
