We report on the progress towards the implementation of a double trap system for the coupling of ion clouds stored in different traps through the charges they induce in a common electrode. The two traps have cylindrical symmetry and can be used either as Penning or Paul traps. The laser system for Doppler cooling of
40 Ca+ clouds is described. The cooling can be performed differentially in the two traps, aiming at the study of the coupling between two clouds of ions at different temperatures. This setup is the starting point for the realization of energy transfer between two Doppler-cooled ions stored in different traps. We report on the status of the experiment and evaluate the performance required for an efficient coupling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
