Abstract: The study of ion-atom interactions often requires the ion to be trapped, however the effects of the trapping potential have been elusive. The authors find that if the trapped ion is described as a delocalized charged distribution according to its motional ground state in the trap, the trap frequency modifies the scattering and transport properties of the ion in a neutral bath.
