The microwave trap and prospects for Bose-Einstein condensation

The microwave trap (MW) was proposed as a method of achieving Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in spin-polarized atomic hydrogen, H↓. We have experimentally demonstrated this new type of atomic trap using the cesium atom. Here we review and discuss the implications and limitations of this trap for B...

Description
Summary:The microwave trap (MW) was proposed as a method of achieving Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in spin-polarized atomic hydrogen, H↓. We have experimentally demonstrated this new type of atomic trap using the cesium atom. Here we review and discuss the implications and limitations of this trap for BEC.
