Measurements on release-recapture of cold Rb-85 atoms using an optical nanofibre in a magneto-optical trap
L. Russell, R. Kumar, V. B. Tiwari +1
We have performed release-recapture temperature measurements of laser-cooled Rb-85 atoms using an optical nanofibre (ONF) in a magneto-optical trap (MOT). The effects of changing t…
An analysis pipeline for CHIME/FRB full-array baseband data
D. Michilli, K. W. Masui, R. Mckinven +21
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has become a leading facility for detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) through the CHIME/FRB backend. CHIME/FRB searches fo…
Investigation of a Rb Dark Magneto-Optical Trap using an Optical Nanofibre
L. Russell, R. Kumar, V. B. Tiwari +1
We report here measurements on a dark magneto-optical trap (DMOT) of Rb atoms using an optical nanofibre (ONF) with a waist of ~1 m. The DMOT is created using a do…
Stability and optical quality of "windmill"-formed 8CB liquid crystal films for replenishable plasma mirrors
A. Vazquez, A. Jewell, M. Cole +16
Liquid crystal (LC) film plasma mirrors (PMs) based on 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) are an enabling technology for reflecting high-fluence laser pulses. These freestanding LC fil…
Detector characterization for a new C+C reaction study at LUNA
R. M. Gesùè, S. Turkat, J. SkowroÅski +50
The C+C fusion reaction plays a crucial role in stellar evolution, including the occurrence of supernova explosions, and in the synthesis of the chemical elements. Ho…
