Atom funnel for the production of a slow, high-density atomic beam
A new scheme has been developed that produces a slow atomic beam of high brightness with a narrow velocity distribution. The technique can provide long measurement times and high counting rates for future precision experiments. In our initial work, densities of 10{sup 8} Na atoms/cm{sup 3} at a velo...

Summary: | A new scheme has been developed that produces a slow atomic beam of high brightness with a narrow velocity distribution. The technique can provide long measurement times and high counting rates for future precision experiments. In our initial work, densities of 10{sup 8} Na atoms/cm{sup 3} at a velocity of 270 cm/sec and at a temperature of {approx}200 {mu}K were obtained. |
